From what I see, the CPU port is configured with VLAN 1 as soon as the
bridge is created:

# brctl addbr br
# bridge v sh dev br
port    vlan ids
br       1 PVID Egress Untagged

I expect there are events for this (but I didn't check), but the driver
won't see them, because it doesn't have any ports attached to the bridge
yet.

OK, apparently we are talking past each other. When you say "CPU port",
is "br0" not what you have in mind? Because I see 1 configured at br0 in
your listings.

I don't think we care about the CPU port in mlxsw. If the packet matches
one of the local MACs, it gets trapped anyway, so all this stuff is then
handled in slow path.
