[PATCH 2/2] net: arc_emac: don't pass multicast packets to kernel in non-multicast mode

From: Alexander Kochetkov
Date: Mon Nov 14 2016 - 08:24:44 EST


The patch disable capturing multicast packets when multicast mode
disabled for ethernet ('ifconfig eth0 -multicast'). In that case
no multicast packet will be passed to kernel.
