set_multicast_list() commented out in fcc_enet.c

Hi all,

I've noticed that in arch/ppc/8260_io/fcc_enet.c at the very top of the
function set_multicast_list() there is a return statement - effectively
commenting out the rest of the code.  There is no comment saying why it
is there.

An effect of this is that you cannot put the device in promiscuous mode,
which is required when adding it to a bridge.

Please can anyone say why this "return;" is there?

Thanks,

Alex
