Just a small note to Scott and Vivien:

One of the side effects of Nik's recent patchsets is that when VLANs are
flushed on a port the deletion is propagated to the driver via
switchdev ops, as __vlan_vid_del is called.

Therefore there is no need to do internal bookkeeping and remove VLANs
yourself when port is removed from bridge.
