Thanks, the things raised by AI reviews are correct, and I indeed am working
on addressing that. That's follow-up material indeed.

The main thing AI points points about the UC filter is "but won't we hit UC
promisc sooner ?" and the answer is yes absolutely, but it's the right thing
to do.

I've got some information from Synopsys on a way to discover the US filter
list, and the followup is on its way to get proper unicast filtering on
dwmac4, stay tuned :)
