Hi Scott,

If I understand you correctly, that means we would expect users to
use bridge commands even on non-bridged dsa ports. I don't think we can
make this kind of assumption. Users will expect configure VLANs on
non-bridge ports as they would normally configure VLANs, using the 8021q
module.

So I guess we'll have to support the ndo ops for dsa.

Thanks,
Guenter
