Before this patch:

# ip link add name br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
# echo "0x88a8" > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/vlan_protocol
# echo $?

After this patch:

# ip link add name br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
# echo "0x88a8" > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/vlan_protocol 
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
