[PATCH 4.19 26/92] net: stmmac: dwmac1000: provide multicast filter fallback

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2020-08-20 12:27:12
Also in: lkml

From: Jonathan McDowell <redacted>

commit 592d751c1e174df5ff219946908b005eb48934b3 upstream.

If we don't have a hardware multicast filter available then instead of
silently failing to listen for the requested ethernet broadcast
addresses fall back to receiving all multicast packets, in a similar
fashion to other drivers with no multicast filter.
