Netdevice HW MPLS features are not passed from device driver's netdevice to upper netdevice, specifically VLAN and bonding netdevice which are created by the kernel when needed.
This prevents enablement and usage of HW offloads, such as TSO and checksumming for MPLS tagged traffic when running via VLAN or bonding interface. The patches introduce changes to the initialization steps of the VLAN and bonding netdevices to inherit the MPLS features from lower netdevices to allow the HW offloads.
