mv643xx_eth: fix unicast filter programming in promiscuous mode
The Unicast Promiscious Mode (UPM) bit in the mv643xx_eth port configuration register doesn't do exactly what its name would suggest: setting this bit merely enables reception of all unicast frames with a destination address that differs from our local MAC address in bits [47:4]. In particular, it doesn't have any effect on unicast frames with a destination address that matches our MAC address in bits [47:4] -- these will still be tested against the 16-entry unicast address filter table. Therefore, if the interface is set to promiscuous mode, just setting the unicast promiscuous bit isn't enough -- we need to set all filter bits in the unicast filter table to 1 as well.
