commit df43dd526e6609769ae513a81443c7aa727c8ca3 upstream. The IPQ806x does not appear to have a functional multicast ethernet address filter. This was observed as a failure to correctly receive IPv6 packets on a LAN to the all stations address. Checking the vendor driver shows that it does not attempt to enable the multicast filter and instead falls back to receiving all multicast packets, internally setting ALLMULTI. Use the new fallback support in the dwmac1000 driver to correctly achieve the same with the mainline IPQ806x driver. Confirmed to fix IPv6 functionality on an RB3011 router.

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.
