Merge branch 'cdc-ether'
Olivier Blin says: ==================== cdc-ether: handle promiscuous mode Since kernel 3.16, my Lenovo USB network adapters (RTL8153) using cdc-ether are not working anymore in a bridge. This is due to commit c472ab68, which resets the packet filter when the device is bound. The default packet filter set by cdc-ether does not include promiscuous, while the adapter seemed to have promiscuous enabled by default. This patch series allows to support promiscuous mode for cdc-ether, by hooking into set_rx_mode. Incidentally, maybe this device should be handled by the r8152 driver, but this patch series is still nice for other adapters. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
