[PATCH net-next 1/3] net: add flags for HW assisted extraction/insertions of switch tags

From: Florian Fainelli
Date: Wed Jul 29 2015 - 18:35:30 EST


Some hardware (e.g: Broadcom's SYSTEMPORT) is capable of automatically
extracting and inserting a proprietary switch tag (e.g: Broadcom tag)
which saves us packet modifications when using DSA. Add the required
ethtool changes and netdevice feature bits to support such devices.
