3.16.40-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Andrew Lunn <[email protected]> commit 97db8afa2ab919fc400fe982f5054060868bdf07 upstream. The mvneta driver advertises it supports IFF_UNICAST_FLT. However, it actually does not. The hardware probably does support it, but there is no code to configure the filter. As a quick and simple fix, remove the flag. This will cause the core to fall back to promiscuous mode.
