To make the hardware untag the DSA special tag, which is faster than 
doing it in the DSA tag driver.

the DSA special tag. Because of that, the code that I'm removing here 
was never used.

Will fix that in v2.

The hardware has multiple ethernet MACs connected to the same DMA ring. 
The parsing flag can't be turned off per MAC and it makes the hardware 
assume that a DSA special tag is present.
