Exactly. So the only case you need to guard against is when vid == 0
&& vid == b53_default_pvid(dev) - basically the 8021q module messing
with your untagged (pvid-tagged) traffic. So both have to be zero in
order to interfere. If vid is 0 but the b53_default_pvid is 1 - no
problem. If vid is 1 and the b53_default_pvid is 1, again no problem.
At least that's what you described in the previous patch. No?
