tcpdump capture on eth0 of inbound DHCP requests on port 4 of QCA switch sw1
which is attached to BCM switch port 5. Packet is VLAN tagged, VID 10.

Without patch (and without tag_qca hack):
0000   00 00 20 05 ff ff ff ff ff ff e0 cb bc 88 c9 a5   .. .............
0010   81 00 00 00 be 4c 81 00 00 0a 08 00 45 00 01 48   .....L......E..H
0020   00 00 00 00 40 11 79 a6 00 00 00 00 ff ff ff ff   ....@.y.........

With patch applied:
0000   00 00 20 05 ff ff ff ff ff ff e0 cb bc 88 c9 a5   .. .............
0010   be 4c 81 00 00 0a 08 00 45 00 01 48 00 00 00 00   .L......E..H....
0020   40 11 79 a6 00 00 00 00 ff ff ff ff 00 44 00 43   @.y..........D.C

Everything seems fine. Looks good!
