The pch_gbe driver sets up multicast address filters using a convoluted mechanism by which pch_gbe_set_multi allocates an array to hold multicast addresses, copies desired addresses into that array, calls a pch_gbe_mac_mc_addr_list_update function which copies addresses out of that array into MAC registers, then frees the array. This patch simplifies this somewhat by inlining pch_gbe_mac_mc_addr_list_update into pch_gbe_set_multi, and removing the requirement for the MAC addresses to stored consecutively in a single array.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
