[PATCH] net: stmmac: remove the limitation of adding vlan in promisc mode

[PATCH] net: stmmac: remove the limitation of adding vlan in promisc mode

[Clark Wang]

When using brctl to add eqos to a bridge, it will frist set eqos to
promisc mode and then set a VLAN for this bridge with a filer VID value
of 1.

These two error returns limit the use of brctl, resulting in the
inability of the bridge to be enabled on eqos. So remove them.

Please add a suitable Fixes: tag pointing at the commit introducing
the regression.

Hi Clark,

Please always check the latest state of net.git/main before submitting
patches. In this case, you seem to have missed the existence of commit
a7602e7332b9 ("net: stmmac: don't reject VLANs when IFF_PROMISC is set").

Please also check Documentation/process/maintainer-netdev.rst for next
time, especially the part where it says to designate the patch as
"[PATCH net]" (it also says to add a Fixes tag as Ahmad already pointed out).
