What does it mean to preserve packet VLAN tag format? Trying to
understand if the sane thing is to clear or set this bit. Does it mean
to strip the VLAN tag on egress if the VLAN is configured as
egress-untagged on the port?

You would have much fewer (zero) type casts if "tag" was a "__be16 *" in
the first place. Additionally, you would not need "p" and you could work
with tag[0], tag[1], tag[2], tag[3].

Please set LEARN_DIS. DSA has better ways to control what needs to be
learned and what doesn't. Packets injected into a standalone port
surely shouldn't have their MAC SA learned. Grep for "tx_fwd_offload" in
the kernel, see what it takes to transmit a packet with
skb->offload_fwd_mark = true, and you can clear LEARN_DIS and set ALLOW
then.

Set but unused variable.

I am deeply confused by this line.

~(1 << 15) is GENMASK(14, 0)
By AND-ing it with BIT(dp->index), what do you gain?

Same comment about it being more productive for "tag" to be "__be16 *".

At the very least, please use

	dsa_default_offload_fwd_mark(skb);

which does the right thing when the port is not offloading the bridge.

Also tell us more about REASON and ALLOW. Is there a bit in the RX tag
which denotes that the packet was forwarded only to the host?
