Analyzer in VSC73XX switches can send some kind of packages to (and
from) processor via registers available from SPI/Platform BUS (for
some external analysis).  In some cases it's possible to configure: if
packet will be copied or forwarded to this special CPU queue.  But
BPDU frames could be sent to processor via CPU queue only. So It's
impossible to forward bridge control data via rgmii interface.
