This commit needs to be reverted. It removed an available sysfs file, a=
nd sysfs
files are part of the ABI. It caused a bug in our current release of Vy=
atta because
the shell script was using the sysfs file to see if VLAN was supported =
on a device.

An API maybe redundant, but you can't just remove it.
