Hi Andrew,
All I'm saying is that at this point in time (patch 14/24), the driver is being introduced with DSA_TAG_PROTO_NONE. Then support for traffic and switch tagging is added later on (18/24). I was just explaining what can be done with the driver up to this point in the patchset.
Thanks, -Vladimir
