Hi Sean

So you can mark a packet for egress. What about ingress? How do you
know the VLAN/PORT combination for packets the CPU receives? I would
of expected a similar change to mtk_tag_rcv().

Hi, Andrew

It's unnecessary for extra handling in mtk_tag_rcv() when VLAN tag is
present since it is able to put the VLAN tag after the special tag and
then follow the existing way to parse.
