From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com>

The bridge program does:

fdb_modify:
	/* Assume self */
	if (!(req.ndm.ndm_flags&(NTF_SELF|NTF_MASTER)))
		req.ndm.ndm_flags |= NTF_SELF;

which is clearly against the documented behavior. The only thing we can
do, sadly, is update the documentation.
