Subject: [PATCH] net/i40e: fix setting TPID with AQ command

[ upstream commit 2c99142384db1796e42209f5fc112c8babc402c0 ]

TPID can be set by set_switch_config AdminQ command on
new FW release. But find fail to set 0x88A8 on some NICs.
According to the datasheet, Switch Tag value should not
be identical to either the First Tag or Second Tag values.
So set something other than common Ethertype for internal
switching.

Fixes: 73cd7d6dc8e1 ("net/i40e: use set switch AQ instead of register setting")
