Thanks for updating this patch to use struct brnf_net.

A few comments below.

I like this conversion from macro to static inline a lot.

But if you let me ask for one more change, would you split this in two
patches? One to replace #defines by static inline.

Then, second patch introduces the sysctl update you need.

It will make it easier for me to review.

Probably we can reduce #ifdef pollution a bit if you always add
'filter_vlan_tagged' and other fields to the brnf_net structure. No
matter if CONFIG_SYSCTL is set on or off. I think it's worth consuming
a bit more memory to simplify this code, so both CONFIG_SYSCTL=y and
CONFIG_SYSCTL=n run the same codepath.

Most vendors will just turn on to CONFIG_SYSCTL=y, and I don't think
it's worth the extra code for the CONFIG_SYSCTL=n case.

BTW, I think parens are not needed, ie.

return vlan_proto(skb) == htons(ETH_P_IPV6);

should be fine?

Thanks!
