I've already applied the patch you quoted. Without it there are no IGMP packets
at all originating from my board.

With the patch applied I see just the first Membership Report when i open
the rx socket. Then, when the querier send the Membership Query packet, there is
no answer from my board, but i see its own MDB entry timeout gets refreshed...
but I can see the Group Leave packet when I close the rx socket.

I think when the MV88E6XXX_PORT_CTL0_IGMP_MLD_SNOOP bit is reset the switch is not
parsing the payload looking for the IGMP header, which is fine. But when the system
tries to answer to the querier its packet get trapped in his own port rule since the
Membership Report destination address is the multicast group address.
