[ Upstream commit 92f85f05caa51d844af6ea14ffbc7a786446a644 ]
VF clients are configured as enforced, meaning firmware is validating the correctness of their ethertype/vid during transmission. Once txvlan is disabled, VF would start getting SKBs for transmission here vlan is on the payload - but it'll pass the packet's ethertype instead of the vid, leading to firmware declaring it as malicious.
