Hi, Jakub & David.

As decribed in patch #1, there is a scenario which needs the dynamic
mode(port VLAN filter is always disabled, andVF VLAN filter is keep
disable until a non-zero VLAN ID being used for the function).

Is this mode selection provided through "ethtool --set-priv-flags"
more acceptable? Or is there any other better suggestion for this?

Thanks.
