From c3975400c8014e39f7f272808377c97c906c8cee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Oltean Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2020 22:32:02 +0300 Subject: net: dsa: allow drivers to request promiscuous mode on master 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.
