Is not this a problem only if the DSA master does VLAN receive filtering
though? In a bridge with vlan_filtering=0 the switch port is supposed to
accept any VLAN tagged frames because it does not do ingress VLAN ID
checking.

Prior to your patch, I would always install a br0.1 upper to pop the
default_pvid and that would work fine because the underlying DSA master
does not do VLAN filtering.
