Hm, I changed my mind, it actually shouldn't need any compat code.
At least compiling worked fine for me for 2.6.29 to 3.9 kernels.

There was a .ndo_set_multicast_list once with all these calls
being reassigned to .ndo_set_rx_mode and .ndo_set_multicast_list
being removed since 3.2 ("net: remove use of
ndo_set_multicast_list in drivers":afc4b13df143122f99a0eb10bfefb216c2806de0).
However .ndo_set_rx_mode has always been threre for
kernels >= 2.6.29, <= 3.9.
