Its my mistake. I referred KSZ87xx datasheet but I couldn't find the
register for the dropping the untagged packet. If that is the case,
shall I remove the dropping of untagged packet feature from the ksz8
switches?

Ok. I will add in port_bridge_join function for bridge vlan_aware
ports.

For now, I thought I can fix the issue for bridge vlan unaware port. I
have few other patch series to be submitted like gPTP, tc commands. If
standalone port fix also needed for your patch series I can work on it
otherwise I can take up later stage.
