Well, my reasoning for such naming is that if someone can configure s-tag
stripping in ethtool with 'rx-vlan-stag-hw-parse', they shouldn't have any
problem with understanding those function names.
One possible improvement that comes to mind is maybe (similarly ethtool) calling
c-tag just 'tag' and letting s-tag stay 'stag'. Because c-tag is this default
802.1q tag, which is supported by various hardware, while s-tag is significantly
less widespread.
But there are many options, really.
What are your suggestions?

Will specify that.

That's a good suggestion, I will expand the comment to describe error codes used
so far.
