[PATCH] ibm_newemac: Don't call dev_mc_add() before device is registered

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt]

We must not call dev_mc_add() from within our HW configure which happens
before we initialize and register the netdev. Do it in open() instead.

Thanks to Sebastian Siewior for tracking it down.

This fixes an uninitialized spinlock warning (and possibly more).

Please apply.

Cheers,
Ben.
