Subject: [PATCH net-next v2] net: usb: sr9700: remove code to drive nonexistent multicast filter
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2026 21:51:13 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260130055123.19269-1-enelsonmoore@gmail.com> (raw)
Several registers referenced in this driver's source code do not
actually exist (they are not writable and read as zero in my testing).
They exist in this driver because it originated as a copy of the dm9601
driver. Notably, these include the multicast filter registers - this
causes the driver to not support multicast packets correctly. Remove
the multicast filter code and register definitions. Instead, set the
chip to receive all multicast filter packets when any multicast
addresses are in the list.
Reviewed-by: Simon Horman <horms@kernel.org> (from v1)

Changes in v2:
Remove unrelated cleanups; adjust commit message
Use netdev_mc_empty()
(I decided to send this now instead of when I finish my
patch series because it fixes an important functional issue.)
