I don't understand this comment, sorry. When the matchall filter
containing the skbedit action gets removed, DSA calls the driver's
.port_priority_set callback again, this time with a priority of 0.
There's nothing to "remove" about a port priority. I made an assumption
(which I still consider perfectly reasonable) that no port-based
prioritization means that all traffic gets classified to traffic class 0.
