I don't think this is a 5714 specific issue. I think the problem is rooted in the fact that the VLAN tag stripping is enabled.
Your RXD_FLAG_VLAN idea sounds unlikely to me, but it's worth a check.
The patch here is using __vlan_hwaccel_put_tag(), which informs the stack a VLAN tag is present. If this is indeed a reporting problem, I'm not sure what else the driver should be doing.

This is a firmware limitation.
