Re: [RFC PATCH net-next 11/12] Documentation: networking: switchdev: clarify device driver behavior

+devices and unsolicited multicast must be filtered as early as possible into
+the hardware.
'into' sounds wrong here. Probably just 'in'.
+- with VLAN filtering turned off: the bridge is strictly VLAN unaware and its
+  data path will only process untagged Ethernet frames. Frames ingressing the
+  device with a VID that is not programmed into the bridge/switch's VLAN table
+  must be forwarded and may be processed using a VLAN device (see below).
I must be missing something, because these two sentence seems to
contradict each other?
+Finally, even when VLAN filtering in the bridge is turned off, the underlying
+switch hardware and driver may still configured itself in a VLAN-aware mode
configure.
