The idea is that the API would accept both ports and bridges, but
currently there's no user for the parts that I didn't code up--it would
be a dead code. It's super simple to extend these if/when there are
clients, e.g.:

modified   net/bridge/br_vlan.c
@@ -1155,7 +1155,10 @@ int br_vlan_pvid_rtnl(const struct net_device *dev, u16 *p_pvid)
 	struct net_bridge_vlan_group *vg;
 
 	ASSERT_RTNL();
-	if (netif_is_bridge_master(dev))
+	p = br_port_get_check_rtnl(dev);
+	if (p)
+		vg = nbp_vlan_group(p);
+	else if (netif_is_bridge_master(dev))
 		vg = br_vlan_group(netdev_priv(dev));
 	else
 		return -EINVAL;

I can post a follow-up with the renames if you prefer that.

Thanks,
Petr
