The name of the mode is probably missleading. When setting VLAN_IN_MODE
with A5PSW_VLAN_IN_MODE_TAG_ALWAYS, the input packet will be tagged
_only_ if VLAN_IN_MODE_ENA port bit is set. If this bit is not set,
packet will passthrough transparently. This bit is actually enabled in
a5psw_port_vlan_add() when a PVID is set and unset when the PVID is
removed. Maybe the comment above these lines was not clear enough.
