I don't necessarily disagree with this, perhaps we can even move
Florian's dsa_untag_bridge_pvid() call inside a rcv_post() method
implemented by the DSA_TAG_PROTO_BRCM_LEGACY, DSA_TAG_PROTO_BRCM_PREPEND
and DSA_TAG_PROTO_BRCM taggers. Or even better, because Oleksij's
rcv_post is already prototype-compatible with dsa_untag_bridge_pvid, we
can already do:

	.rcv_post = dsa_untag_bridge_pvid,

This should be generally useful for stuff that DSA taggers need to do
which is easiest done after eth_type_trans() was called.
