From: "Verma, Aashish" <aashishx.verma@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2ba31cd93784b61813226d259fd94a221ecd9d61 ] Without checking for IFF_MULTICAST flag, it is wrong to assume multicast filtering is always enabled. By checking against IFF_MULTICAST, now the driver behaves correctly when the multicast support is toggled by below command:- ip link set <devname> multicast off|on Fixes: 477286b53f55 ("stmmac: add GMAC4 core support") Signed-off-by: Verma, Aashish <aashishx.verma@xxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Tan, Tee Min <tee.min.tan@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Ong Boon Leong <boon.leong.ong@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
