Switch ID
^^^^^^^^^
-The switchdev driver must implement the switchdev op switchdev_port_attr_get
-for SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PARENT_ID for each port netdev, returning the same
-physical ID for each port of a switch. The ID must be unique between switches
-on the same system. The ID does not need to be unique between switches on
-different systems.

The switch ID is used to locate ports on a switch and to know if aggregated
ports belong to the same switch.
