An attempt was made in commit fe3490e6107e ("net: mscc: ocelot: Hardware
ofload for tc flower filter") to avoid clashes between MAC_ETYPE rules
and IP rules. Because the protocol blacklist should have included
ETH_P_ALL too, it created some confusion, but now the situation should
be dealt with a bit better by the patch immediately previous to this one
("net: mscc: ocelot: refine the ocelot_ace_is_problematic_mac_etype
function").
So now we can remove that check. MAC_ETYPE rules with a protocol of
ETH_P_IP, ETH_P_IPV6, ETH_P_ARP and ETH_P_ALL _are_ supported, with some
restrictions regarding per-port exclusivity which are enforced now.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
