Currently, if multiple unicast addresses are programmed into a mv643xx_eth interface, the core networking will resort to enabling promiscuous mode on the interface, as mv643xx_eth does not implement ->set_rx_mode(). This patch switches mv643xx_eth over from ->set_multicast_list() to ->set_rx_mode(), and implements support for secondary unicast addresses. The hardware can handle multiple unicast addresses as long as their first 11 nibbles are the same (i.e. are of the form xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xy where the x part is the same for all addresses), so if that is the case, we use that mode. If it's not the case, we enable unicast promiscuous mode in the hardware, which is slightly better than enabling promiscuous mode for multicasts as well, which is what would happen before. While we are at it, change the programming sequence so that we don't clear all filter bits first, so we don't lose all incoming packets while the filter is being reprogrammed.
