Heiner Kallweit cd04b44bf0 r8169: remove multicast filter limit
Once upon a time, when r8169 was new, the multicast filter limit code
was copied from RTL8139 driver. There the filter limit is even
user-configurable.
The filtering is hash-based and we don't have perfect filtering.
Actually the mc filtering on RTL8125 still seems to be the same
as used on 8390/NE2000. So it's not clear to me which benefit it
should bring when switching to all-multi mode once a certain number
of filter bits is set. More the opposite: Filtering out at least
some unwanted mc traffic is better than no filtering.
Also the available chip documentation doesn't mention any restriction.
Therefore remove the filter limit.

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.
