I have the MT7621 GSW, and sadly this reference manual isn't the best in
explaining what is and what is not possible. For example, I am still not
clear what is meant by "VID1" and "VID0". Is "VID1" the inner (customer)
VLAN tag, and "VID0" the outer (service) VLAN tag, or "VID1" means the
actual VLAN ID 1?

And the bits 3:1 of VAWD1 (VLAN table access register) indicate a FID
field per VLAN. I cannot find the piece that you quoted in this manual.
But what I expect to happen for a Transparent Port is that the packets
are always classified to that port's PVID, and the VLAN Table is looked
up with that PVID. There, it will find the FID, which this driver
currently always configures as zero. In my manual's description, in the
"Transparent Port" chapter, it does explicitly say:

	VID0 and VID1 will store PVID as the default VID which is used
	to look up the VLAN table.

So I get the impression that the phrase "the VLAN table is not applicable"
is not quite correct, but I might be wrong...
