All statically configured ones plus locals.
Locals are needed preserve the bridge behavior of
being able to receive packets addresses to any of the
ports mac addresses on any interface.

You are right.  This can be turned to void.

It is a per-port flag here.  I can change it to
BR_PORT_PROMISC to make it clearer.
