Re: [PATCH net] bnge: skip dev_addr when building the VNIC unicast list

Hello:

This patch was applied to netdev/net-next.git (main)
by Paolo Abeni [off-list ref]:

The default VNIC programs the device's MAC as L2 filter 0 in
bnge_init_chip() via bnge_hwrm_set_vnic_filter(bn, 0, 0, dev_addr).
bnge_cfg_rx_mode() then walks dev->uc and programs each unicast
address as a further L2 filter, without excluding dev_addr.

Skip dev_addr when building uc_list, since it is already installed as
filter 0. As dev_addr now takes neither a uc_list slot nor an
l2_filters[] slot, count only the non-dev_addr entries for the
uc_list overflow check too, otherwise an input such as
{dev_addr, A, B, C} would needlessly fall back to promiscuous mode
even though A, B and C fit in exact-match filters.
bnge_uc_list_updated() applies the same skip and count so the
change detection stays consistent and does not loop.
