Come on Björn, it wasn't so magic if you could figure that out although 
you hadn't seen the code before. There is more and more understanding on 
how this piece of hardware works, even though we only have an SDK which 
is spaghetti and magic sauce and you might have noticed there are more 
and more comments in the latest additions.

Yes, that was indeed my mistake, the second parameter is the mask of 
ports MC packets are flooded to as long as a multicast group has not 
been set up by the bridge, port 28 (= BIT 28) being the CPU port on the 
8380. I thought all relevant traffic would anyway be trapped to the CPU, 
I did quite some testing setting up the traps. I was evidently wrong.

I asked for testing of this set of patches in the rtl83xx irc a week ago 
and the code was on GitHub since then. I got no feedback up til now when 
it ended up in master.
I'll post a patch for all the architectures for this problem.
