Tools like tcpdump need to be able to decode the significance of fake
VLAN headers that DSA uses to separate switch ports.
But currently these have no global significance - they are simply an
ordered list of DSA_MAX_SWITCHES x DSA_MAX_PORTS numbers ending at 4095.
The reason why this is submitted as a fix is that the existing mapping
of VIDs should not enter into a stable kernel, so we can pretend that
only the new format exists. This way tcpdump won't need to try to make
something out of the VLAN tags on 5.2 kernels.
