This got broken back in 2011:
commit 5da96be53a16a62488316810d0c7c5d58ce3ee4f Author: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Date: Wed Jul 20 04:54:31 2011 +0000
starfire: do vlan cleanup - unify vlan and nonvlan rx path - kill np->vlgrp and netdev_vlan_rx_register Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
The comparison to 32 was on a different variable before that change.
