Jonathan McDowell says: ==================== net: stmmac: Fix multicast filter on IPQ806x This pair of patches are the result of discovering a failure to correctly receive IPv6 multicast packets on such a device (in particular DHCPv6 requests and RA solicitations). Putting the device into promiscuous mode, or allmulti, both resulted in such packets correctly being received. Examination of the vendor driver (nss-gmac from the qsdk) shows that it does not enable the multicast filter and instead falls back to allmulti. Extend the base dwmac1000 driver to fall back when there's no suitable hardware filter, and update the ipq806x platform to request this. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
