Test with a ramdisk maybe?

I think the most important question is: what commands are you running,
and how are you determining that "it doesn't work"? What type of traffic
are you sending, and how are you receiving it?
I don't own a 6250 switch, but the 6390 and 6190. On my switches, both
termination and forwarding work fine with VLAN filtering enabled -
tested just now. This is with the official v5.9 tag:
commit bbf5c979011a099af5dc76498918ed7df445635b (HEAD, tag: v5.9)
Author: Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-foundation.org>
Date: Sun Oct 11 14:15:50 2020 -0700
Linux 5.9
It's interesting that it is you who added VLAN support for the 6250 in
commit bec8e5725281 ("net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: implement vtu_getnext and
vtu_loadpurge for mv88e6250") which appeared around the v5.3 timeframe.
When you tested it then, did you apply the same test as you did now?
It is very confusing that you mention v4.19, since of course, it is the
v5.3 tag where the 6250 support for VLANs has appeared, just as you said.
As far as I can gather from your email, the only kernel where your
testing passes is a kernel that nobody else can test, am I right?
So it either is a problem specific to the 6250, or a problem that I did
not catch with the trivial setup I had below:
