Vladimir Oltean 9eb8eff0cf net: bridge: allow enslaving some DSA master network devices
Commit 8db0a2ee2c ("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.
