It's possible that earlier driver tx flow for zero vlan_tci is handled 
differently by the driver and hence hardware.
Doing this change would cause changing the driver TX flow for zero vlan_tci 
[specially setting the things in the TX descriptors would be changed now for 
zero vlan_tci].
Is it really necessary to change the driver behavior for such change until 
unless there is functional problem with the driver or hardware in handling zero 
vlan_tci ?

Thanks.
