Subject: net/ionic: do not add station MAC filter on init
X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9c3cc2fc09221601eff5c76968eab13fcc35b0bc;p=dpdk.git

net/ionic: do not add station MAC filter on init

The address is not needed in the firmware.
This reduces the startup time a bit.
