Sorry, but could you please explain why having the gate_mask reference
the traffic classes is a glaring oversight, and how changing it would
help here?

Also, Kurt, could you please explain what the
HR_PRTCCFG_PCP_TC_MAP_SHIFT field in HR_PRTCCFG is doing?
To me, it appears that it's configuring ingress QoS classification on
the port (and the reason why this is strange to me is because you're
applying this configuration through an egress qdisc), but I want to make
sure I'm not misunderstanding.

Thanks,
