+best_effort_vlan_filtering
+ [DEVICE, DRIVER-SPECIFIC]
+ Allow plain ETH_P_8021Q headers to be used as DSA tags.
+ Benefits:
+ - Can terminate untagged traffic over switch net
+ devices even when enslaved to a bridge with
+ vlan_filtering=1.
+ - Can terminate VLAN-tagged traffic over switch net
+ devices even when enslaved to a bridge with
+ vlan_filtering=1, with some constraints (no more than
+ 7 non-pvid VLANs per user port).
+ - Can do QoS based on VLAN PCP and VLAN membership
+ admission control for autonomously forwarded frames
+ (regardless of whether they can be terminated on the
+ CPU or not).
+ Drawbacks:
+ - User cannot use VLANs in range 1024-3071. If the
+ switch receives frames with such VIDs, it will
+ misinterpret them as DSA tags.
+ - Switch uses Shared VLAN Learning (FDB lookup uses
+ only DMAC as key).
+ - When VLANs span cross-chip topologies, the total
+ number of permitted VLANs may be less than 7 per
+ port, due to a maximum number of 32 VLAN retagging
+ rules per switch.
+ Configuration mode: runtime
+ Type: bool.
