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

Kernel currently does, but it is caught in
mv88e6xxx_port_check_hw_vlan() and returns -ENOTSUPP from there.
But VID 0 has a special meaning for the kernel, it means the port's private
database (when it is isolated, non-bridged), it is not meant to be programmed
in the switch. That's why I would've put that knowledge into the DSA layer,
which job is to translate the kernel operations to the (dumb) DSA drivers.

I hope I'm seeing things correctly here.


Thanks,
Vivien
