We need a better filter, otherwise, in case of software based STP, we are leaking packages on
blocked port. For example DHCP do trigger lots of spam in the kernel log.

I'll drop STP patch for now, it will be better to make a generic soft STP for all switches without
HW offloading. For example ksz9477 is doing SW based STP in similar way.
