No, the BPDU_PORT_FW bits are 0 after reset. The MT7620 programming 
guide states that frames with 01:80:C2:00:00:00 MAC DA (which is how the 
BPDU distinction is being made) will follow the system default which 
means the BPDUs will be treated as normal multicast frames.

Only if all 3 bits are set will the BPDUs be dropped.

For reference, the mstpd package on Buildroot includes this.
