OK, so here the VLAN module was not yet loaded, so as part of the 
operation, we get the module, load it, which triggers the 802.1q driver 
to install a VLAN ID filter for VLAN ID #0, that fails because there is 
a single VLAN supported, and this apparently means VLAN promiscuous... 
not sure why that is an error, if this means accepting all VLANs, then 
this means we need to filter in software, so it really should not be an 
error IMHO.

It is not clear to me how -EPERM ended up being chosen as a return code 
here rather than -EOPNOTSUPP which would be allow for the upper layers 
to decide how to play through, not that it would matter much here,
because we sort of expect the operation not to fail.

Can you confirm that dwmac4_get_num_vlan() does return 1 single VLAN 
filter? Also, given the comment about single VLAN and VID #0 meaning 
VLAN promiscuous does this work:
