Good question. I'd guess 0, since otherwise, the VLAN-unaware FDB entries added with a5psw_port_fdb_add() wouldn't work. But the driver has to survive the following chain of commands, which, by looking at the current code structure, it doesn't: ip link add br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 0 ip link set swp0 master br0 # PVID should remain at a value chosen privately by the driver bridge vlan add dev swp0 vid 100 pvid untagged # PVID should not change in hardware yet ip link set br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1 # PVID should change to 100 now ip link set br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 0 # PVID should change to the value chosen by the driver Essentially, what I'm saying is that VLANs added with "bridge vlan add" should only be active while vlan_filtering=1. If you search for "commit_pvid" in drivers/net/dsa, you'll find a number of drivers which have a more elaborate code structure which allows the commands above to work properly.
