Subject: vlan: allow to change type when no vlan device is hooked on netdev
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=18c22a03a2187bcbda7d3a7fa1061584a6348e7b;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

vlan: allow to change type when no vlan device is hooked on netdev

vlan_info might be present but still no vlan devices might be there.
That is in case of vlan0 automatically added.

So in that case, allow to change netdev type.
