Do you know if there's any precedent in the existing upstream drivers
for overriding the reserved bytes? It's not normal for devices to modify
the ingress frames. Perhaps there's some precedent, but if not I think
we should gate this (eg with a devlink param?)

Andrew, do you have any opinion? Or perhaps Richard?

I think it would be great to invert the order. Revamp the locking as
patch 2 then add the new feature as patch 3.
