ether: Add dedicated Ethertype for pseudo-802.1Q DSA tagging
There are two possible utilizations so far:
- Switch devices that don't support a native insertion/extraction header
on the CPU port may still enjoy the benefits of port isolation with a
custom VLAN tag.
For this, they need to have a customizable TPID in hardware and a new
Ethertype to distinguish between real 802.1Q traffic and the private
tags used for port separation.
- Switches that don't support the deactivation of VLAN awareness, but
still want to have a mode in which they accept all traffic, including
frames that are tagged with a VLAN not configured on their ports, may
use this as a fake to trick the hardware into thinking that the TPID
for VLAN is something other than 0x8100.
What follows after the ETH_P_DSA_8021Q EtherType is a regular VLAN
header (TCI), however there is no other EtherType that can be used for
this purpose and doesn't already have a well-defined meaning.
ETH_P_8021AD, ETH_P_QINQ1, ETH_P_QINQ2 and ETH_P_QINQ3 expect that
another follow-up VLAN tag is present, which is not the case here.
