net: dsa: add tag driver for LAN9645X
Add a tag driver for LAN9645x switches using a front port as the CPU port
(NPI port). The driver configures a long prefix for extraction and no
prefix for injection to handle the internal frame header (IFH).

Is it possible for a maliciously crafted packet (e.g., via AF_PACKET) to have a
length of 14 bytes with h_vlan_proto set to ETH_P_8021Q?
If so, vlan_remove_tag() would read vhdr->h_vlan_TCI at offset 14, causing an
out-of-bounds read.
Furthermore, if the packet contains fragments and the VLAN header is not in the
linear data area, vlan_remove_tag() could corrupt the SKB when shifting the MAC
header.
Would it be safer to use skb_vlan_untag() instead?

Could skb_pull() return NULL here if skb->len is less than 16 bytes?
If it returns NULL, the blind dereference of ifh in the subsequent
lan9645x_ifh_get() calls would cause a NULL pointer dereference.
Additionally, is the 44-byte tag (16-byte prefix + 28-byte IFH) guaranteed to
be in the linear data buffer (skb->data)?
Without calling pskb_may_pull(skb, LAN9645X_TOTAL_TAG_LEN) first, accessing it
via the ifh pointer might result in out-of-bounds reads if the packet payload
is in paged fragments.
