Subject: [RFC,net] net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw: Add IFF_UNICAST_FLT flag to
 port device

Since commit 8940e6b ("net: dsa: avoid call to __dev_set_promiscuity()
while rtnl_mutex isn't held") when conecting one of this switch's port
to a DSA switch as the conduit interface, the network interface is set to
promiscuous mode by default and cannot be set to not promiscous mode again
from userspace. The reason for this is that the cpsw ports net devices
do not have the flag IFF_UNICAST_FLT set in their private flags.

The cpsw switch should be able to set not promiscuous mode as otherwise
a '1' is written to bit ALE_PORT_MACONLY_CAF which makes ethernet frames
get an aditional VLAN tag when entering the port connected to the DSA
switch. Setting the IFF_UNICAST_FLT flag to all ports allows us to have
the conduit interface on the DSA subsystem set as not promiscuous.
