rocker: remove support for legacy VLAN ndo ops
Remove support for legacy ndo ops
.ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid/.ndo_vlan_rx_kill_vid. Rocker will use
bridge_setlink/dellink exclusively for VLAN add/del operations.
The legacy ops are needed if using 8021q driver module to setup VLANs on
the port. But an alternative exists in using bridge_setlink/delink to
setup VLANs, which doesn't depend on 8021q module. So rocker will switch
to the newer setlink/dellink ops. VLANs can added/delete from the port,
regardless if port is bridged or not, using the bridge commands:
bridge vlan [add|del] vid VID dev DEV self
(Yes, I agree it's confusing to use the "bridge" command to set a VLAN on a
non-bridged port).
Using setlink/dellink over legacy ops let's us handle the stacked driver
case automatically. It's built-in. setlink also pass additional flags
(PVID, egress untagged) that aren't available with the legacy ops.
