Is there a way in which you could group the registers a bit more?
The function occupies 2 screens :-/

There are 4 read-modify-write operations in succession to the RGAC1
register. Maybe you can converge them into a single regmap_update_bits()
call.

Also, for packets which reach the CPU via a trap, we shouldn't set
skb->offload_fwd_mark = 1. In other words, if the bridge layer wants to
forward them in software (including to other an8855 ports), let it do so.
The common example given in commit 515853ccecc6 ("bridge: allow
forwarding some link local frames") is 802.1X PAE (01-80-C2-00-00-03).

I notice mtk_tag_rcv() calls dsa_default_offload_fwd_mark() with no
pre-condition. Do you know whether there exists any bit in the RX tag
which signifies whether the packet was received because of a trap
(or if it was autonomously forwarded by the switch to the other bridge
ports as well)? The offload_fwd_mark bit should be set based on
something like that.
