    net: dsa: allow drivers to request promiscuous mode on master · c3975400

    Currently DSA assumes that taggers don't mess with the destination MAC
    address of the frames on RX. That is not always the case. Some DSA
    headers are placed before the Ethernet header (ocelot), and others
    simply mangle random bytes from the destination MAC address (sja1105
    with its incl_srcpt option).
    
    Currently the DSA master goes to promiscuous mode automatically when the
    slave devices go too (such as when enslaved to a bridge), but in
    standalone mode this is a problem that needs to be dealt with.
    
    So give drivers the possibility to signal that their tagging protocol
    will get randomly dropped otherwise, and let DSA deal with fixing that.
