Hi,

In the i40evf driver when trying to add a list of addresses that contains
the broadcast MAC address the call to i40evf_set_mc_addr_list will error
out complaining that the broadcast address isn't a valid address.
I haven't seen this happen in a similar set up using the ixgbevf driver. Is
this just an implementation detail and we shouldn't be trying to add the
broadcast address or a bug in one of the drivers?

Cheers,
Anthony
