[ Upstream commit 66cf4710b23ab2adda11155684a2c8826f4fe732 ]
The ibm,mac-address-filters property defines the maximum number of
addresses the hypervisor's multicast filter list can support. It is
encoded as a big-endian integer in the OF device tree, but the virtual
ethernet driver does not convert it for use by little-endian systems.
As a result, the driver is not behaving as it should on affected systems
when a large number of multicast addresses are assigned to the device.
