[PATCH net v2 3/4] net: stmmac: fix missing IFF_MULTICAST check in dwmac4_set_filter

From: Ong Boon Leong
Date: Wed Jan 15 2020 - 02:11:01 EST


From: "Verma, Aashish" <aashishx.verma@xxxxxxxxx>

Without checking for IFF_MULTICAST flag, it is wrong to assume multicast
filtering is always enabled. By checking against IFF_MULTICAST, now
the driver behaves correctly when the multicast support is toggled by below
command:-

ip link set <devname> multicast off|on
