Subject: [PATCH net-next v3] net: usb: sr9700: remove code to drive nonexistent multicast filter
Date: Mon,  2 Feb 2026 17:39:09 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260203013924.28582-1-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)
Signed-off-by: Ethan Nelson-Moore <enelsonmoore@gmail.com>

Changes in v2:
Remove unrelated cleanups; adjust commit message
Use netdev_mc_empty()
Changes in v3:
Rebase on latest net-next
Drop now-unused CRC32 Kconfig dependency
