At the time we crash the proto value is indeed ETH_P_XDSA, but it is not 
because of the __vlan_find_dev_deep_rcu() call as I was mislead by the 
traces I was looking it (on ARMv7 the LR was pointing not where I was 
expecting it to), it is because of the following call trace:

netif_receive_skb_list_internal
   -> __netif_receive_skb_list_core
     -> __netif_receive_skb_core
       -> vlan_do_receive()

That function does use skb->vlan_proto to determine the VLAN group, at 
that point we have not set it but we did inherit skb->protocol instead 
which is ETH_P_XDSA.

The following does work though, tested with both br0 and a br0.1 upper:

+       upper_dev = __vlan_find_dev_deep_rcu(br, htons(proto), vid);
+       if (upper_dev) {
+               skb->vlan_proto = vlan_dev_vlan_proto(upper_dev);
+               return skb;
         }

I should have re-tested v2 and v3 with a bridge upper but I did not 
otherwise I would have caught that. If that sounds acceptable to you as 
well, I will submit that tomorrow.

Let me know what you think about the 802.1Q upper of a physical switch 
port in the other email.
