[RFC PATCH v2 0/1] Introduce UCI support for configuring DSA VLAN filter rules

[Josh Bendavid]

Ok I see, but then wouldn't it be much simpler to specify the bridge
device directly in wifi-ifaces instead of the network?

It's also needed in this case to ensure that the bridge-vlan section
can configure tagging on the bridge interface itself.
