Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 96/98] net: qca_spi: Don't clear IFF_BROADCAST

4.2.8-ckt6 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Stefan Wahren <stefan.wahren@...e.com>

commit 2b70bad23c89b121a3e4a00f8968d14ebb78887d upstream.

Currently qcaspi_netdev_setup accidentally clears IFF_BROADCAST.
So fix this by keeping the flags from ether_setup.
