Stupid bug: "bridge_num" is redeclared here as a different variable with
a different scope, shadowing the one from dsa_port_bridge_tx_fwd_prepare().

and then here, the scope from the "if" block is lost, so the bridge_num
variable is still -1. So dp->bridge_num remains -1.

Deleting the "int bridge_num" declaration from the "if" block fixes the
issue. This got introduced between v2 and v3.

We are in the pre_bridge_leave path, this should have been _unprepare.

The patches should work otherwise, if somebody wants to test they should
make these changes.

There are also some more changes that need to be made to mlxsw to
properly handle the unoffload of bridge ports that are LAG devices and
VLAN devices. I have them in my tree now. When net-next reopens I will
first send a series of 7 refactoring patches for dpaa2-switch, mlxsw and
prestera, and then the TX data plane offload in DSA as a 15-patch series.
