Subject: [PATCH 5.6 138/167] staging: vt6656: Dont set RCR_MULTICAST or RCR_BROADCAST by default.

From: Malcolm Priestley <tvboxspy@...il.com>

commit 0f8240bfc070033a4823b19883efd3d38c7735cc upstream.

mac80211/users control whether multicast is on or off don't enable it by default.

Fixes an issue when multicast/broadcast is always on allowing other beacons through
in power save.

Fixes: db8f37fa3355 ("staging: vt6656: mac80211 conversion: main_usb add functions...")
