FYI, the part that matters here is that we know whether the master
network device actually uses a tagged DSA protocol, this is important
for e.g: bridge (see 8db0a2ee2c6302a1dcbcdb93cb731dfc6c0cdb5e). Some
drivers like bcmsysport.c also care about that in order to enable
specific switch tagging protocol parsing hints.
