Router interfaces (RIFs) constructed on top of VLAN-aware bridges are of "VLAN" type, whereas RIFs constructed on top of VLAN-unaware bridges of "FID" type. In other words, the RIF type is derived from the underlying FID type. VLAN RIFs are used on top of 802.1Q FIDs, whereas FID RIFs are used on top of 802.1D FIDs. Currently 802.1Q FIDs are emulated using 802.1D FIDs, and therefore VLAN RIFs are emulated using FID RIFs. As part of converting the driver to use unified bridge, 802.1Q FIDs and VLAN RIFs will be used. Add the relevant fields to RITR register, add pack() function for VLAN RIF and rename one field to fit the internal name.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
