The bridge driver will ignore -EOPNOTSUPP and actually add the VLAN on
the bridge device. See commit 9c86ce2c1ae3 ("net: bridge: Notify about
bridge VLANs") and commit ea4721751977 ("mlxsw: spectrum_switchdev:
Ignore bridge VLAN events")

Since the VLAN was successfully added on the bridge device,
mlxsw_sp_span_respin_work() should be able to resolve the egress port
for a packet that is mirrored to a gre tap and passes through the bridge
device.
