I tested this patch on MT7621AT and MT7623NI SoCs on the current 
linux-next. Port 0 keeps working fine.

So when you use VLANs on non-DSA gmac1, network connectivity is broken?

I've got an MT7621AT device which gmac1 is connected to an external phy 
(sfp-wan, the same case as yours). I'll test VLANs there. See if MT7621 
is affected by this as well since the patch log here states this feature 
is kept enabled for MT7621 because only gmac0 is used which is false.
