    net: dsa: mt7530: fix handling of all link-local frames · 69ddba9d
    Arınç ÜNAL authored
    Currently, the MT753X switches treat frames with :01-0D and :0F MAC DAs as
    regular multicast frames, therefore flooding them to user ports.
    
    On page 205, section "8.6.3 Frame filtering" of the active standard, IEEE
    Std 802.1Q-2022, it is stated that frames with 01:80:C2:00:00:00-0F as MAC
    DA must only be propagated to C-VLAN and MAC Bridge components. That means
    VLAN-aware and VLAN-unaware bridges. On the switch designs with CPU ports,
    these frames are supposed to be processed by the CPU (software). So we make
    the switch only forward them to the CPU port. And if received from a CPU
    port, forward to a single port. The software is responsible of making the
    switch conform to the latter by setting a single port as destination port
    on the special tag.
    
    This switch intellectual property cannot conform to this part of the
    standard fully. Whilst the REV_UN frame tag covers the remaining :04-0D and
    :0F MAC DAs, it also includes :22-FF which the scope of propagation is not
    supposed to be restricted for these MAC DAs.
    
    Set frames with :01-03 MAC DAs to be trapped to the CPU port(s). Add a
    comment for the remaining MAC DAs.
    
    Note that the ingress port must have a PVID assigned to it for the switch
    to forward untagged frames. A PVID is set by default on VLAN-aware and
    VLAN-unaware ports. However, when the network interface that pertains to
    the ingress port is attached to a vlan_filtering enabled bridge, the user
    can remove the PVID assignment from it which would prevent the link-local
    frames from being trapped to the CPU port. I am yet to see a way to forward
    link-local frames while preventing other untagged frames from being
    forwarded too.
