Subject: eth: fec: Fix lost promiscuous mode after reconnecting cable

From: Stefan Wahren <stefan.wahren@xxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 84fe61821e4ebab6322eeae3f3c27f77f0031978 ]

If the Freescale fec is in promiscuous mode and network cable is
reconnected then the promiscuous mode get lost. The problem is caused
by a too soon call of set_multicast_list to re-enable promisc mode.
The FEC_R_CNTRL register changes are overwritten by fec_restart.

This patch fixes this by moving the call behind the init of FEC_R_CNTRL
register in fec_restart.

Successful tested on a i.MX28 board.
