After this patch set gets merged, can you also please take a look at the
following:

Documentation/networking/switchdev.rst says:

When the bridge has VLAN filtering enabled and a PVID is not configured on the
ingress port, untagged and 802.1p tagged packets must be dropped. When the bridge
has VLAN filtering enabled and a PVID exists on the ingress port, untagged and
priority-tagged packets must be accepted and forwarded according to the
bridge's port membership of the PVID VLAN. When the bridge has VLAN filtering
disabled, the presence/lack of a PVID should not influence the packet
forwarding decision.

I'm not sure if this happens or not with mt7530, since the driver
attempts to change the pvid back to 0. You are not changing this
behavior in this series, so no reason to deal with it as part of it.
