Re: [PATCH] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: avoid error message on remove from VLAN 0

I'm not sure that I like the semantic of it, because the driver can actually
support VID 0 per-se, only the kernel does not use VLAN 0. Thus I would avoid
calling the port_vlan_del() ops for VID 0, directly into the upper DSA layer.

Florian, Andrew, wouldn't the following patch be more adequate?

    diff --git a/net/dsa/slave.c b/net/dsa/slave.c

Hi Vivien

If we put this in rx_kill_vid, we should probably have something
similar in rx_add_vid, just in case the kernel does start using VID 0.
