From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.olt...@nxp.com>
Commit 8db0a2ee2c63 ("net: bridge: reject DSA-enabled master netdevices
as bridge members") added a special check in br_if.c in order to check
for a DSA master network device with a tagging protocol configured. This
was done because back then, such devices, once enslaved in a bridge
would become inoperative and would not pass DSA tagged traffic anymore
due to br_handle_frame returning RX_HANDLER_CONSUMED.
But right now we have valid use cases which do require bridging of DSA
masters. One such example is when the DSA master ports are DSA switch
ports themselves (in a disjoint tree setup). This should be completely
equivalent, functionally speaking, from having multiple DSA switches
hanging off of the ports of a switchdev driver. So we should allow the
enslaving of DSA tagged master network devices.
Instead of the regular br_handle_frame(), install a new function
br_handle_frame_dummy() on these DSA masters, which returns
RX_HANDLER_PASS in order to call into the DSA specific tagging protocol
handlers, and lift the restriction from br_add_if.

Changes in v3:
None.
Changes in v2:
* Removed the hotpath netdev_uses_dsa check and installed a dummy
rx_handler for such net devices.
* Improved the check of which DSA master net devices are able to be
bridged and which aren't.
* At this stage, the patch is different enough from where I took it from
(aka
https://github.com/ffainelli/linux/commit/75618cea75ada8d9eef7936c002b5ec3dd3e4eac)
that I just added my authorship to it).
