Fix sky2 disabling VLAN completely when the first vid is unregistered. For some reason the VLAN code insists on the driver providing a vlan_rx_kill_vid function even if only NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_RX and not NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER is set, so this patch keeps an empty function. This seems to be a bug though, vlan_rx_add_vid is only required with NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER. Ben?Reading other drivers, it looks like a better patch would be to handle mode change in both set and kill.The VLAN code tracks registered VIDs and will always call vlan_rx_register(NULL) when the last VID is unregistered, so this is not necessary.
Then should others be fixed... tg3, bnx2, r8169, gianfar, s2io, 8139cp, acenic, ... -- Stephen Hemminger [off-list ref]
