Currently, the MT753X switches treat frames with :01-0D and :0F MAC DAs as
regular multicast frames, therefore flooding them to user ports.
On page 205, section "8.6.3 Frame filtering" of the active standard, IEEE
Std 802.1Q™-2022, it is stated that frames with 01:80:C2:00:00:00-0F as MAC
DA must only be propagated to C-VLAN and MAC Bridge components. That means
VLAN-aware and VLAN-unaware bridges. On the switch designs with CPU ports,
these frames are supposed to be processed by the CPU (software). So we make
the switch only forward them to the CPU port. And if received from a CPU
port, forward to a single port. The software is responsible of making the
switch conform to the latter by setting a single port as destination port
on the special tag.
This switch intellectual property cannot conform to this part of the
standard fully. Whilst the REV_UN frame tag covers the remaining :04-0D and
:0F MAC DAs, it also includes :22-FF which the scope of propagation is not
supposed to be restricted for these MAC DAs.
Set frames with :01-03 MAC DAs to be trapped to the CPU port(s). Add a
comment for the remaining MAC DAs.
Note that the ingress port must have a PVID assigned to it for the switch
to forward untagged frames. A PVID is set by default on VLAN-aware and
VLAN-unaware ports. However, when the network interface that pertains to
the ingress port is attached to a vlan_filtering enabled bridge, the user
can remove the PVID assignment from it which would prevent the link-local
frames from being trapped to the CPU port. I am yet to see a way to forward
link-local frames while preventing other untagged frames from being
forwarded too.

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.
