[Bridge] two fields are missing in brctl output when using /sys

[Jeremy Jackson]

I've noticed for a while that 

# brctl showstp

output is showing 0 for port_no and  port_id

It seems that somewhere in 2.6 sysfs land the following items got
printed in hexadecimal, and brctl code was parsing for decimal only

doug:/sys/class/net/eth0/brport# cat port_id
0x8001
doug:/sys/class/net/eth0/brport# cat port_no
0x1

The following patch to bridge-utils (git and 1.2 release) lets it do the
right thing:
