That again sounds like something Linux specific rather than a hardware
property.

It would be good if all these special things (dual emac mode, vlan
handling, switching) could be handled using the existing kernel
(bridging/vlan) infrastructure, and the driver always just exposing 2
network interfaces instead of these configuration properties.
