Subject: igc: Fix NFC rules with multicast addresses
Patch-mainline: v5.8-rc1
Git-commit: 39707c16e6b34fb70b3f170d5733245256d768e5
References: jsc#SLE-13533

Multicast MAC addresses are valid address for NFC rules but
igc_add_mac_filter() is currently rejecting them. In fact, the I225
controller doesn't impose any constraint on the address value so this
patch gets rid of the address validation check in MAC filter APIs.
