What about hardware where you can't stop it receiving broadcast
addresses? Should drivers manually check for this in their
interrupt handler?

I don't see how that could possibly work. The CEC specification
requires that we receive broadcast addressed messages so that (eg)
the current source can be tracked. Being present on the bus, and
participating as an active source requires the reception of
broadcast messages so that you know when you stop being an active
source.
Nothing (afaics) enables broadcast address reception in the kernel
side, nor using cec-ctl in userspace.

You're right in this case, but for dw-hdmi, bit 15 must be set for
broadcast messages to be received.
