This change adds support for mstpd (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol Daemon). mstpd works reasonably well with RSTP. MSTP protocol works ok, but is known to have some issues with some managed switches. In order to get this to work, each physical switch port needs to have it's own software network interface (so, for example: port 0 <==> eth0). This means that this is suited mostly for higher end devices that can process STP packets in software. An interface for `swconfig` or Linux's DSA or switchdev would haven been interesting, but it never materialized. Adding this in the OpenWrt packages feed may provide some interest or feedback on whether `mstpd` should do more, to integrate with managed switches and offer some basis for Linux (through OpenWrt) as an OS for managed switches.

OpenWrt packages feed
Description
This is the OpenWrt "packages"-feed containing community-maintained build scripts, options and patches for applications, modules and libraries used within OpenWrt.
Installation of pre-built packages is handled directly by the opkg utility within your running OpenWrt system or by using the OpenWrt SDK on a build system.
Usage
This repository is intended to be layered on-top of an OpenWrt buildroot. If you do not have an OpenWrt buildroot installed, see the documentation at: OpenWrt Buildroot – Installation on the OpenWrt support site.
This feed is enabled by default. To install all its package definitions, run:
