Subject: [net-next PATCH 2/5 v2] net: dsa: rtl8366rb: Support the CPU DSA tag

This activates the support to use the CPU tag to properly
direct ingress traffic to the right port.

Bit 15 in register RTL8368RB_CPU_CTRL_REG can be set to
1 to disable the insertion of the CPU tag which is what
the code currently does. The bit 15 define calls this
setting RTL8368RB_CPU_INSTAG which is confusing since the
iverse meaning is implied: programmers may think that
setting this bit to 1 will *enable* inserting the tag
rather than disablinbg it, so rename this setting in
bit 15 to RTL8368RB_CPU_NO_TAG which is more to the
point.

After this e.g. ping works out-of-the-box with the
RTL8366RB.

ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Update the commit message to explain why we are renaming
  bit 15 in RTL8368RB_CPU_CTRL_REG.
