The multicast and unicast filtering code was improved to handle different configuration variations based on device tree settings. I verified the operation of the multicast and unicast filters through Synopsys support as requested during the V1 review, and tested the GMAC configuration on an Altera Cyclone 5 SOC (which supports 256 multicast bins and 128 Unicast addresses). The 10/100 variant of this driver modification was not tested, although it was compile tested. I shared the email thread results of the investigation through Synopsys with the stmmac maintainer. V4: Remove patch from series that addressed a sparse issue from a down rev'd version of sparse that does not show up in the latest version of sparse. V3: Break up the patch into interface and functional change patches per review comments V2: Confirm with Synopsys methods to determine number of Multicast bins and Unicast address filter entries per first round review comments. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
