The indentation between the tristate and help lines seems to be off a
little bit with spaces vs. tabs. This particular Kconfig symbol should
probably be hidden and selected by NET_DSA_TAG_BRCM and
NET_DSA_TAG_BRCM_PREPEND.

Plural: switches

After the MAC source address.

Which places the tag before the Ethernet header (prepended).
