When managing the promiscuous mode during an RX modeset, qeth caches the
current HW state to avoid repeated programming of the same state on each
modeset.
But while tearing down a device, we forget to clear the cached state. So
when the device is later set online again, the initial RX modeset
doesn't program the promiscuous mode since we believe it is already
enabled.
Fix this by clearing the cached state in the tear-down path.
Note that for the SBP variant of promiscuous mode, this accidentally
works right now because we unconditionally restore the SBP role while
re-initializing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
