      sfc: don't insert mc_list on low-latency firmware if it's too long · 148cbab6
      Edward Cree authored
      If the mc_list is longer than 256 addresses, we enter mc_promisc mode.
      If we're in mc_promisc mode and the firmware doesn't support cascaded
       multicast, normally we also insert our mc_list, to prevent stealing by
       another VI.  However, if the mc_list was too long, this isn't really
       helpful - the MC groups that didn't fit in the list can still get
       stolen, and having only some of them stealable will probably cause
       more confusing behaviour than having them all stealable.  Since
       inserting 256 multicast filters takes a long time and can lead to MCDI
       state machine timeouts, just skip the mc_list insert in this overflow
       condition.
