You can limit ATU operations to a particular FID. So the way I see it we
could either have:

int (*port_vlan_fast_age)(struct dsa_switch *ds, int port, u16 vid)

+ Maybe more generic. You could imagine there being a way to trigger
  this operation from userspace for example.
- We would have to keep the VLAN<->MSTI mapping in the DSA layer in
  order to be able to do the fan-out in dsa_port_set_mst_state.

or:

int (*port_msti_fast_age)(struct dsa_switch *ds, int port, u16 msti)

+ Let's the mapping be an internal affair in the driver.
- Perhaps, less generically useful.

Which one do you prefer? Or is there a hidden third option? :)

By "configuring learning", do you mean this new fast-age-per-vid/msti,
or being able to enable/disable learning per port? If it's the latter,
I'm not sure I understand how those two are related.
