How about "master_upper"? This is already widely used to refer to
bond/team/bridge/other master soft devices.

MASTER_UPPER_DEV_VLAN_FEATURES?

I'm not sure if we should avoid using "master" now. Maybe just UPPER_DEV_VLAN_FEATURES?

Why? We have "master_upper" to point exactly at this kind of device.

I mean try not use "master/slave" words. I'm OK to use UPPER_DEV_* prefix.

If you don't want to use that, change the existing code. But when the
existing code uses that, new code should be consistent with it.

OK, I will update the name.
