This looks like a stretch, why not use a mask? You can require users to
always install both BC and MC rules if you want to make sure the masked
rule does not match BC.
Those matching rules are hard coded in HW for packet rate limiting and SW only
enables them and sets requested pps limit.
- 1:BC: HW does exact match on BC MAC address
- 2:MC: HW does match on MC bit (the least-significant bit of the first octet)
Therefore the exact match done in this patch for above dst_mac's with
is_broadcast_ether_addr() and ether_addr_equal().
The K3 cpsw also supports number configurable policiers (bit rate limit) in
ALE for which supports is to be added, and for them MC mask (sort of, it uses
number of ignored bits, like FF-FF-FF-00-00-00) can be used.
