Having some kernel doc comment here would also be nice.

This uses knowledge of the maximum VLAN ID is 4095, which is fine, might
be a good idea to add a check on VID not exceeding the maximum VLAN ID
number instead of doing a silent truncation?

Should not this check be moved to dev_{mc,uc}_sync? It does not seem to
me like this would scale really well across different stacked devices
(VLAN, bond, macvlan) as well as underlying drivers (cpsw, dsa, etc.).
Or maybe the check should be if vlan_dev->vid_len > real_dev->vid_len ->
error, right?
