The commit mentioned below was a bit too harsh, and while it restricted
the invalid key combinations which are known to not work, such as:
tc filter add dev swp0 ingress proto ip \
flower src_ip 192.0.2.1 action drop
tc filter add dev swp0 ingress proto all \
flower src_mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 action drop
it also restricted some which still should work, such as:
tc filter add dev swp0 ingress proto ip \
flower src_ip 192.0.2.1 action drop
tc filter add dev swp0 ingress proto 0x22f0 \
flower src_mac 00:11:22:33:44:55 action drop
What actually does not match "sanely" is a MAC_ETYPE rule on frames
having an EtherType of ARP, IPv4, IPv6, in addition to SNAP and OAM
frames (which the ocelot tc-flower implementation does not parse yet, so
the function might need to be revisited again in the future).
So just make the function recognize the problematic MAC_ETYPE rules by
EtherType - thus the VCAP IS2 can be forced to match even on those
packets.
This patch makes it possible for IP rules to live on a port together
with MAC_ETYPE rules that are non-all, non-arp, non-ip and non-ipv6.

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.
