+ Say Y or M if you want to enable support for tagging frames with a
+ custom VLAN-based header. Frames that require timestamping, such as
+ PTP, are not delivered over Ethernet but over register-based MMIO.
+ Flow control over the CPU port is functional in this mode. When using
+ this mode, less TCAM resources (VCAP IS1, IS2, ES0) are available for
+ use with tc-flower.
