[PATCH] net/ice: fix VLAN tag reporting on Rx

>
> The ice driver expects the first, or outer, VLAN tag in a packet to be
> written to the L2TAG1 field of the descriptor, as configured by the
> l2tsel field when configuring the queue context initially for the
> device. However, when configuring the actual VLAN or QinQ strip
> behaviour, that l2tsel field was changed, sending the single/outer vlan
> tag to the L2TAG2 field in the descriptor. This meant that it was not
> getting picked up correctly by the Rx paths.
>
> This issue has been around for a long time, but was previously
> partially hidden by the issue fixed in [1], since due to that bug,
> the l2tsel field was not getting overridden in the single-queue case
> (since the single queue was the final queue).
>
> Fix the issue by just removing the code updating the l2tsel field, and
> leave it as set by default in the initial queue configuration.

You can also remove the following #defines and enum related to the code you have removed as they are not used anywhere else as far as I can see.
#define ICE_L2TSEL_QRX_CONTEXT_REG_IDX 3
#define ICE_L2TSEL_BIT_OFFSET 23
enum ice_l2tsel {
ICE_L2TSEL_EXTRACT_FIRST_TAG_L2TAG2_2ND,
ICE_L2TSEL_EXTRACT_FIRST_TAG_L2TAG1,
};
