> This is code refactoring. This patch removes the workaround which deleted a
> default MAC filter added by the firmware when the interface was brought
> up. This filter caused frames to pass disregarding the VLAN tagging.
> It used to be automatically applied after reset in pre-SRA FW versions.
> This workaround is not needed in production NICs and hence can be
> removed.
