We tried the following test

ip link set dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 0

ip link set lan1 master br0
ip link set lan2 master br0

bridge vlan add vid 10 dev lan1 pvid untagged

==>
Packet transmitted from Host1 with vid 5 is not received by the Host2 
Packet transmitted from Host1 with vid 10 is not received by the Host2
==> 

bridge vlan add vid 10 dev lan2 pvid untagged

==>
Packet transmitted from Host1 with vid 5 is received by the Host2 
Pa
cket transmitted from Host1 with vid 10 is received by the Host2
==> 

bridge vlan del vid 10 dev lan2

==>
Packet transmitted from Host1 with vid 5 is not received by the Host2 
Packet transmitted from Host1 with vid 10 is not received by the Host2
==> 

Tried this test before and after applying this patch series. And got
the same result.

In summary, packets are dropped when pvid is added to vlan unaware
bridge. Let me know if anything need to performed on this.

Thanks
Arun
