[PATCH v3 net 2/4] net: dsa: tag_dsa: send packets with TX fwd offload from VLAN-unaware bridges using VID 0

[Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com>]

The present code is structured this way due to an incomplete thought
process. In Documentation/networking/switchdev.rst we document that if a
bridge is VLAN-unaware, then the presence or lack of a pvid on a bridge
port (or on the bridge itself, for that matter) should not affect the
ability to receive and transmit tagged or untagged packets.

If the bridge on behalf of which we are sending this packet is
VLAN-aware, then the TX forwarding offload API ensures that the skb will
be VLAN-tagged (if the packet was sent by user space as untagged, it
will get transmitted town to the driver as tagged with the bridge
device's pvid). But if the bridge is VLAN-unaware, it may or may not be
VLAN-tagged. In fact the logic to insert the bridge's PVID came from the
idea that we should emulate what is being done in the VLAN-aware case.
But we shouldn't.

It appears that injecting packets using a VLAN ID of 0 serves the
purpose of forwarding the packets to the egress port with no VLAN tag
added or stripped by the hardware, and no filtering being performed.
So we can simply remove the superfluous logic.

One reason why this logic is broken is that when CONFIG_BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING=n,
we call br_vlan_get_pvid_rcu() but that returns an error and we do error
out, dropping all packets on xmit. Not really smart. This is also an
issue when the user deletes the bridge pvid:

$ bridge vlan del dev br0 vid 1 self

As mentioned, in both cases, packets should still flow freely, and they
do just that on any net device where the bridge is not offloaded, but on
mv88e6xxx they don't.
