All in one word, I don't think the single file dev_mcast.c is needed
anymore.

Agreed. But dev.c is growing larger and larger, maybe dev_addr.c?
Or dev_config.c, with some of the other device configuration functions?

I don't know, a sizable dev.c is inevitable, allows better refactoring
and consolidation.  And the be honest you're going to have to likely
touch things in dev.c whenever you make changes to dev_addr.c or
whatever you want to name it. :-)

You're probably right. Killing dev_mcast.c makes sense to me though.
