Bridge VLAN filtering
---------------------
+- port_vlan_filtering: bridge layer function invoked when the bridge gets
+ configured for turning on or off VLAN filtering. If nothing specific needs to
+ be done at the hardware level, this callback does not need to be implemented.
+ When VLAN filtering is turned on, the hardware must be programmed with
+ rejecting 802.1Q frames which have VLAN IDs outside of the programmed allowed
+ VLAN ID map/rules. If there is no PVID programmed into the switch port,
+ untagged frames must be rejected as well. When turned off the switch must
+ accept any 802.1Q frames irrespective of their VLAN ID, and untagged frames are
+ allowed.

- port_vlan_prepare: bridge layer function invoked when the bridge prepares the
configuration of a VLAN on the given port. If the operation is not supported
by the hardware, this function should return -EOPNOTSUPP to inform the bridge
