I find that you have modified vlan_do_receive() in the past and
wondering if you have some insight into the issue. I also see the same
issue when I create VLAN interfaces over a linux bridge over TI's cpsw
interfaces. I understand that bridge code also use the same hook
(rx_handler) as HSR to receive the frames. The vlan interface doesn't
get the frames. With VLAN acceleration disabled, VLAN interfaces seems
to work fine. I  have two AM572x IDKs with CPSW port connected back to
back. I setup Linux bridge and run stp to avoid looks. I don't
understand what vlan_do_receive() is doing. Could you explain?
probably it needs to false for Linux bridge and HSR case so that
the rx_handler will receive the frame? As a HACK, I will muck around
with this code to return false and see if that helps.

Setup used for my work.
