New function dev_fill_bridge_path(), similar to dev_fill_forward_path().
It handles starting from a bridge port instead of the bridge master.
The structures ctx and nft_forward_info need to be already filled in with
the (vlan) encaps.

hmm, do we expect ctx->dev to be a bridge master? Looking at
br_fill_forward_path, it seems to be == fdb->dst->dev which
should be the target port

It would indeed be very unlikely. It was a left-over from code I wrote,
thinking that here I could handle cascaded bridges (via vlan-device). I
dropped that, since conntrack does not follow this flow.
So would it be better to only make sure that ctx->dev is not a bridge
master?

I think you misunderstood me, I don't think ctx->dev can ever be a bridge
device because ctx->dev gets set to fdb->dst and fdbs that point to the bridge
itself have fdb->dst == NULL but ctx->dev is checked against NULL earlier*
so the bridge dev check doesn't make sense to me.
