+- port_vlan_filtering: bridge layer function invoked when the bridge gets
+  configured for turning on or off VLAN filtering. If nothing specific needs to
+  be done at the hardware level, 0 must be returned. When VLAN filtering is
+  turned on, the hardware must be programmed with rejecting non-802.1Q frames,
+  when turned off the switch must accept any 802.1Q frames.

 - port_vlan_prepare: bridge layer function invoked when the bridge prepares the
   configuration of a VLAN on the given port. If the operation is not supported
   by the hardware, this function should return -EOPNOTSUPP to inform the bridge
