This small series addresses two points in the rtl8_4 tagger used by the
realtel rtl8365mb driver.
The first patch updates the documentation of the tag format while the
second patch sets the KEEP flag bit, ensuring that the switch
respects the frame's VLAN format as provided by the kernel.
These patches were previously part of a larger series but are being
submitted independently as they are self-contained and already
received review.
Changes in v1:
- Resubmitted as a standalone series from the previous larger set.
- Kept Reviewed-by tags from Linus Walleij.

Document the updated tag layout fields (EFID, VSEL/VIDX) and clarify
which bits are set/cleared when emitting tags.

KEEP=1 is needed because we should respect the format of the packet as
the kernel sends it to us. Unless tx forward offloading is used, the
kernel is giving us the packet exactly as it should leave the specified
port on the wire. Until now this was not needed because the ports were
always functioning in a standalone mode in a VLAN-unaware way, so the
switch would not tag or untag frames anyway. But arguably it should have
been KEEP=1 all along.
