So practically, regardless of whether the switch supports VTU policy or
not, we still load VID 0 in the VTU, and this simplifies the driver a
bit. Could we also simplify mv88e6xxx_port_db_dump() by deleting the
mv88e6xxx_port_get_fid() from there (and then delete this function
altogether)?

I think the mv88e6xxx_port_set_fid() call is now useless too?

Will this not also affect FWD frames sent on behalf of VLAN-unaware
bridges as they are received on CPU ports and upstream-facing DSA ports?
Somehow I think you intend to make this match only on downstream-facing
DSA ports.

Is this really needed? I thought cascade ports parse the VID from the
DSA header regardless of 802.1Q mode.

I think the idea with UNTAGGED here was that packets sent by tag_dsa.c
with TX forwarding offload on behalf of a VLAN-unaware bridge have VID
4095. By setting the port as untagged, that VID is stripped on egress.
If you make it UNMODIFIED, the outside world will see it. Or am I wrong?
