> In airoha_dev_select_queue(), the expression:
>
> queue = (skb->priority - 1) % AIROHA_NUM_QOS_QUEUES;
>
> implicitly converts to unsigned arithmetic: when skb->priority is 0
> (the default for unclassified traffic), (0u - 1u) wraps to UINT_MAX,
> and UINT_MAX % 8 = 7, routing default best-effort packets to the
> highest-priority QoS queue. This causes QoS inversion where the
> majority of traffic on a PON gateway starves actual high-priority
> flows (VoIP, gaming, etc.).
>
> Fix by guarding the subtraction: when priority is 0, map to queue 0
> (lowest priority), otherwise apply the original (priority - 1) % 8
