net: say "local" instead of "static" addresses in ndo_dflt_fdb_{add,del}
"Static" is a loaded word, and probably not what the author meant when the code was written. In particular, this looks weird: $ bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05 local # totally fine, but $ bridge fdb add dev swp0 00:01:02:03:04:05 static [ 2020.708298] swp0: FDB only supports static addresses # hmm what? By looking at the implementation which uses dev_uc_add/dev_uc_del it is absolutely clear that only local addresses are supported, and the proper Network Unreachability Detection state is being used for this purpose (user space indeed sets NUD_PERMANENT when local addresses are meant). So it is just the message that is wrong, fix it. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
