net: stmmac: Correct set_filter for multicast and unicast cases
This patch removes the check for the number of mulitcast addresses when using hash based filtering since it's not necessary. If the number of multicast addresses in the list exceeds the number of multicast hash bins, the bins will "fold" over into one of the bins configured and enabled for the particular component instance. The default number of maximum unicast addresses was changed from 32 to 1 since this number is not dependent on the component revision. The maximum number of multicast and unicast addresses is dependent on the configuration of the Synopsys EMAC configured by the SOC architect at the time the features were selected and configured for a particular component. Sadly, Synopsys does not provide a way to query the precise number supported by a particular component, so we must fall back on a devicetree entry. This configuration could vary from vendor to vendor (such as STMicro, Altera, etc). The multicast bins are set for every possible filtering case (including no entries) - previously the bits were set only if multicast filter entries were present.
