Hi Paolo,

Thanks for the comment, 
sure, will divide this rework into two patches with
1) just moving the code in a separate file
2) rename functions and symbols

- will not include random changes, will explain on that below.

These changes were not intended. Last year when I was porting
from dwmac4 to stmmac_vlan.c, I was unaware of new changes in the 
VLAN function. I relied too heavily on Git to alert me to conflicting
Changes on the updated function. Little did I know that when 
I removed code from dwmac4, I will cross-check the latest changes
and submit them again in v5, together with the separated commit.

Regards,
Boon Khai.
