Broadcom tags is the underlying feature that provides per-port
information about the packets going in and out. Turning on Broadcom tags
requires turning on managed mode which means that the host now has to
manage how MAC addresses are programmed into the switch, it's not rocket
science, but I don't have a good test framework to automate the testing
of those changes yet. If you are willing to help in the testing, I can
certainly give you patches to try.

When Broadcom tags are enabled the switch gets usable the way Andrew
expressed it, the only difference that makes on your configuration if
you want e.g: VLAN 101 to be for port 1-4 and VLAN 102 to be for port 5,
is that you no longer create an eth0.101 and eth0.102, but you create
br0.101 and br0.102.

We might be able to expose a sysfs attribute which shows the type of
tagging being enabled by a particular switch, that way scripts can
detect which variant: configuring the host controller or the bridge is
required. Would that be acceptable?
