It's actually quite annoying, Realtek use type 0x8899 for all their
custom stuff, including RRCP and internal DSA tagging inside
switches, which are two completely different use cases.
When I expose raw DSA frames to wireshark it identifies it
as "Realtek RRCP" and then naturally cannot decode the
frames since this is not RRCP but another protocol identified
by the same ethertype.
Inside DSA it works as we explicitly asks tells the kernel using the
tagging code in net/dsa/tag_rtl4_a.c that this is the DSA version
of ethertype 0x8899 and it then goes to dissect the actual
4 bytes tag.
There are at least four protocols out there using ethertype 0x8899.
