As of our internal discussion today, we decided to redesign several aspects around the data-port config. That redesign will be first agreed upon through a charm spec and then implemented.

That work, however, will depend on https://bugs.launchpad.net/charm-neutron-openvswitch/+bug/1917025 completion.

The current proposal (will be further discussed in the spec) is to have a "manual" value for data-port config, where the charm will no longer touch the bridges and ports according to changes in the data-port config. When in this state, changes to the port would be done through "add" and "remove" juju actions. When not in "manual" mode, the behavior will not be changed. There are several motivations for this decision and they will be listed in the spec.

Meanwhile, documentation around the use of the data-port config will be improved so this problem is avoided. The redesign work will further enhance the documentation along with the new changes.
