Please remind me why you have to queue a VLAN addition/removal and can't
do it straight away? Is it because of private VID 2 and 3, which need to
be deleted first then re-added from the bridge VLAN group?

Now I understand even less. If the entire purpose of
hellcreek_setup_vlan_membership is to isolate lan0 from lan1, then why
do you even bother to install vid 2 to port=3 (lan1) when joining a
bridge, be it vlan_filtering or not? In bridged mode, they don't need
a unique pvid, it only complicates the implementation. They can have the
pvid from the bridge VLAN group.

This is by no means a good indicator for anything. It shows the bridge
VLAN groups, not the hardware database.

Ok, it gets applied in .port_bridge_join and unapplied in .port_vlan_filtering,
which is a convoluted way of doing nothing.

So this answers my question of whether the tunnel port is a user port or
not, ok.

How about other hardware revisions? Is this going to be a 2-port switch
forever? Your solution will indeed work for 2 ports (as long as you
address the other feedback from v5 w.r.t. declaring the ports as "always
filtering" and rejecting invalid 8021q uppers, which I don't see here),
but it will not scale for 3 ports, due to the fact that the bridge can
install a VLAN on a lan2 port, without knowing that it is in fact the
private pvid of lan1 or lan0.

If you want to dump the hardware database you can look at the devlink
regions that Andrew added very recently. Much more reliable than
following the order of operations in the log.

How do you plan to install a tc-taprio qdisc on the CPU port?
