net: sparx5/lan969x: fix flooding configuration on bridge join/leave

The sparx5 driver programs UC/MC/BC flooding in sparx5_update_fwd() by
unconditionally applying bridge_fwd_mask to all flood PGIDs. Any bridge
topology change that triggers sparx5_update_fwd() (for example enslaving
another port) therefore reinstalls flooding in hardware for already
bridged ports, regardless of their per-port flood flags.

This results in clobbering of the flood masks, and desynchronization
between software and hardware: the bridge still reports “flood off” for
the port, but hardware has flooding enabled due to unconditional PGID
reprogramming.

Steps to reproduce:

    $ ip link add br0 type bridge
    $ ip link set br0 up
    $ ip link set eth0 master br0
    $ ip link set eth0 up
    $ bridge link set dev eth0 flood off
    $ ip link set eth1 master br0
    $ ip link set eth1 up

At this point, flooding is silently re-enabled for eth0. Software still
shows “flood off” for eth0, but hardware has flooding enabled.

To fix this, flooding is now set explicitly during bridge join/leave,
through sparx5_port_attr_bridge_flags():

    On bridge join, UC/MC/BC flooding is enabled by default.

    On bridge leave, UC/MC/BC flooding is disabled.

    sparx5_update_fwd() no longer touches the flood PGIDs, clobbering
    the flood masks, and desynchronizing software and hardware.

    Initialization of the flooding PGIDs have been moved to
    sparx5_start(). This is required as flooding PGIDs defaults to
    0x3fffffff in hardware and the initialization was previously handled
    in sparx5_update_fwd(), which was removed.

With this change, user-configured flooding flags persist across bridge
updates and are no longer overridden by sparx5_update_fwd().
