Because there is no custom .flow_dissect override here, the DSA core falls
back to the generic flow dissector, which will use the 8-byte needed_headroom
as the RX tag length instead of 4 bytes.

Will this corrupt protocol extraction by skipping 8 bytes into the packet
instead of 4? This could cause the network core to read an invalid
encapsulated EtherType and break Receive Packet Steering (RPS), Transmit
Packet Steering (XPS), and Traffic Control (TC) rules on the conduit
interface.

That was actually a really interesting find so I send a v14 for
fixing this alone!
