SFGC register maps {packet type, bridge type} -> {MID base, table type}.
As preparation for unified bridge model, remove 'mid' field and add
'mid_base' field.
The MID index (index to PGT table which maps MID to local port list and
SMPE index) is a result of 'mid_base' + 'fid_offset'. Using the legacy
bridge model, firmware configures 'mid_base'. However, using the new model,
software is responsible to configure it via SFGC register.
The 'mid_base' is configured per {packet type, bridge type}, for
example, for {Unicast, .1Q}, {Broadcast, .1D}.
Add the field 'mid_base' to SFGC register and increase the length of the
register accordingly.
Remove the field 'mid' as currently it is ignored by the device, its use
is an old leftover.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
