Subject: [PATCH net] be2net: Fix to avoid hardware workaround when not needed

From: Sarveshwar Bandi <sarveshwar.bandi@...lex.com>

Hardware workaround requesting hardware to skip vlan insertion is necessary
only when umc or qnq is enabled. Enabling this workaround in other scenarios
could cause controller to stall.
