I have only tested it on the i.MX6, if someone wants to check it on the
imx28 later they can add it to that option.

What do you mean by this, I am only enabling the VLAN code if
(ndev->features & NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_CTAG_RX) is set. I am pretty sure this
is set by

I will change this.

Yes it needs to be done in software as the Ethernet card only detects
the VLAN packet, doing it here is more efficient then the kernel doing it.
