Title:
  ovn-controller: No bridge for localnet port is not an error

Status in ovn package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Example log messages:
  bridge not found for localnet port 'provnet-9d4a9910-01c3-4fe3-bae3-0d93dc6c9b69' with network name 'physnet1'

  Filing here for tracking and for pointing anybody hitting it to the
  patch.

  There is a pattern among CMSes to create a `localnet` port
  binding without any chassis affiliation.

  It is then up to the user to configure chassis with external
  connectivity by adding a mapping under the
  `external_ids:ovn-bridge-mappings` key in the Open_vSwitch
  table of the local OVS instance.  This may be some chassis
  or all chassis depending on end user requirements.

  At present `ovn-controller` will repeatedly log an error on
  chassis without mapping for a localnet port while in reality
  it is not an error.

  A fix for this was proposed but was NACK'ed:
  https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1245848/

  After re-evaluation a different version of essentially the same patch was accepted upstream:
  https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openvswitch/patch/20200519155816.24508-3-ihrachys@redhat.com/
