At least, you had me going around in circles a while trying to see if WARN_ON() could be triggered from user space. If you have more than OWL_EMAC_MAX_MULTICAST_ADDRS MC addresses, you go into promisc mode. Can you then skip calling owl_emac_set_multicast(), which appears not to do too much useful when passed 0?
