The above commit 431bc9c42e should not be backported.
Tx VLAN offload is disabled in the iavf AVX-512 path in 24.11 (see
commit net/iavf: fix VLAN insertion in vector path). Because of this the
optimisation in the proposed backport patch would be to no effect, so I
don't think it should be backported.

Thanks,
Ciara
