Exactly!
This worked on interfaces that were not part of the bridge. And with
this commit will make it work even on interfaces that are part of the
bridge.

Yes that should be the case, I think you are missing:
CONFIG_NET_SCHED
But may be others when you try to add the next rule.

OK, I can see your point.
With the following diff, you should see the same behaviour as before:
