Just realized there is mistake in reply-to email list.

Now that the VLAN priority based RX steering patch is merged to net branch [1],
I would like to resume the discussion for this track.

Currently, we have vlan priority based RX steering be configured for stmmac
driver using tc flower way. Will community agree to the same tc flower
interface for EtherType based RX frame steering? If there is no further concern
on this, I will send v2 for the patch.
