> The end goal is to get rid of the unintuitive code for the flow

> Some background work needs to be done for that. Especially the ocelot

> Changes in v3:
> - Added an optimization (08/15) that makes the generic case not need to
>   call the .flow_dissect function pointer. Basically .flow_dissect now
>   currently only exists for sja1105.
> - Moved the .promisc_on_master property to the tagger structure.
> - Added the .tail_tag property to the tagger structure.
> - Disabled "suppresscc = all" from my .gitconfig.

Series applied, thank you.
