All devices are capable of using regular DSA tags. Support for
Ethertyped DSA tags sort into three categories:

1. No support. Older chips fall into this category.

2. Full support. Datasheet explicitly supports configuring the CPU
   port to receive FORWARDs with a DSA tag.

3. Undocumented support. Datasheet lists the configuration from
   category 2 as "reserved for future use", but does empirically
   behave like a category 2 device.

Because there are ethernet controllers that do not handle regular DSA
tags in all cases, it is sometimes preferable to rely on the
undocumented behavior, as the alternative is a very crippled
system. But, in those cases, make sure to log the fact that an
undocumented feature has been enabled.

You are handling cases 2 and 3 here, but not 1. Which makes it a bit
of a foot cannon for older devices.

Now that we have chip->tag_protocol, maybe we should change
chip->info->tag_protocol to mean supported protocols?

BIT(0) DSA
BIT(1) EDSA
BIT(2) Undocumented EDSA

Since DSA is supported on all devices, perhaps we should just have:

enum mv88e6xxx_edsa_support {
     MV88E6XXX_EDSA_UNSUPPORTED,
     MV88E6XXX_EDSA_UNDOCUMENTED,
     MV88E6XXX_EDSA_SUPPORTED,
};

?

Do we also want to default to DSA on all devices unless there is a
DT-property saying something else? Using EDSA does not really give you
anything over bare tags anymore. You have fixed the tcpdump-issue, and
the tagger drivers have been unified so there should be no risk of any
regressions there either.

Yes, that is O.K.

The regressions with be exactly what you are trying to fix here. A MAC
which does not understand the DSA tag and does the wrong thing, where
as currently it is using EDSA and working.

So i would keep things as they are by default.
