This rings a bell. Somebody told me about such weird behaviour
back in March already on IRC, so way before 4.2 or any commits you've
cited. Unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce it back then and
didn't hear from him on this issue anymore - I'll try to get an update
from him.

br_multicast.c has no knowledge about promiscious mode. Maybe
someone else from the bridge mailinglist might have an idea how
prom. mode on the bridge interface could affect things?

Just to check two (sometimes too) "obvious" points: No ebtables or iptables
on the device with the bridge? DLNA server isn't bound to enp2s0
and is either unbound (binds to 0.0.0.0) or binds to br0?

Cheers, Linus
