    net: dsa: sja1105: prepare tagger for handling DSA tags and VLAN simultaneously · 38b5beea

    In VLAN-unaware mode, sja1105 uses VLAN tags with a custom TPID of
    0xdadb. While in the yet-to-be introduced best_effort_vlan_filtering
    mode, it needs to work with normal VLAN TPID values.
    
    A complication arises when we must transmit a VLAN-tagged packet to the
    switch when it's in VLAN-aware mode. We need to construct a packet with
    2 VLAN tags, and the switch will use the outer header for routing and
    pop it on egress. But sadly, here the 2 hardware generations don't
    behave the same:
    
    - E/T switches won't pop an ETH_P_8021AD tag on egress, it seems
      (packets will remain double-tagged).
    - P/Q/R/S switches will drop a packet with 2 ETH_P_8021Q tags (it looks
      like it tries to prevent VLAN hopping).
    
    But looks like the reverse is also true:
    
    - E/T switches have no problem popping the outer tag from packets with
      2 ETH_P_8021Q tags.
    - P/Q/R/S will have no problem popping a single tag even if that is
      ETH_P_8021AD.
    
    So it is clear that if we want the hardware to work with dsa_8021q
    tagging in VLAN-aware mode, we need to send different TPIDs depending on
    revision. Keep that information in priv->info->qinq_tpid.
    
    The per-port tagger structure will hold an xmit_tpid value that depends
    not only upon the qinq_tpid, but also upon the VLAN awareness state
    itself (in case we must transmit using 0xdadb).
