Update the B53 driver to support VLANs while not filtering. This
requires us to enable VLAN globally within the switch upon driver
initial configuration (dev->vlan_enabled).

We also need to remove the code that dealt with PVID re-configuration in
b53_vlan_filtering() since that function worked under the assumption
that it would only be called to make a bridge VLAN filtering, or not
filtering, and we would attempt to move the port's PVID accordingly.

Now that VLANs are programmed all the time, even in the case of a
non-VLAN filtering bridge, we would be programming a default_pvid for
the bridged switch ports.

David, Jakub, please hold off applying this just yet, Vladimir has submitted another patch for testing that would be IMHO a better way to deal with DSA switches that have an egress tagged default_pvid. Depending on the outcome of that patch, I will resubmit this one or request that you apply it.

Thanks
