There are three different configurations here you need to worry about,
with respect to vlans:

# CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q is not set

So you don't have any vlan support in the kernel.

CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q=y, vlan_filtering = 0

So you have vlans, but filtering is off

CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q=y, vlan_filtering = 1

So you have vlans, and filtering is on.

Even with vlan_filtering off, the bridge still does a little with
vlans.

And you need all three to work correctly.
