Hi Shani,

As discussed on thread [0] there was a quite serious regression caused
by "net: fix packet type for stacked VLAN"

As discussion on the fix is ongoing, I would suggest to just revert this
patch for your release.

It doesn't require a new RC and re-validation as it's an isolated issue
(and there wasn't test cases to catch before Robin's new patch anyway)

thanks,
Kevin.
