This can be done by setting the ``promisc_on_master`` property of the ``struct dsa_device_ops``. Note that this assumes a DSA-unaware master driver, which is the norm. -Hardware manufacturers are strongly discouraged to do this, but some tagging -protocols might not provide source port information on RX for all packets, but -e.g. only for control traffic (link-local PDUs). In this case, by implementing -the ``filter`` method of ``struct dsa_device_ops``, the tagger might select -which packets are to be redirected on RX towards the virtual DSA user network -interfaces, and which are to be left in the DSA master's RX data path. - -It might also happen (although silicon vendors are strongly discouraged to -produce hardware like this) that a tagging protocol splits the switch-specific -information into a header portion and a tail portion, therefore not falling -cleanly into any of the above 3 categories.
