net: dsa: tag_rtl4_a: Support also egress tags
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 86dd986 upstream.

Support also transmitting frames using the custom "8899 A"
4 byte tag.

Qingfang came up with the solution: we need to pad the
ethernet frame to 60 bytes using eth_skb_pad(), then the
switch will happily accept frames with custom tags.
