I remember I've seen this in one of the drivers I have studied, but
I'm not really sure it is actually necessary. I added it to be on the
safe side..

The main purpose of always calling owl_emac_set_multicast() is to ensure
the size of the mcaddr_list is correctly updated (either set or reset).
This prevents owl_emac_setup_frame_xmit() using obsolete data, when
invoked from different contexts (i.e. MAC address changed).
A conditional call involves splitting the mcaddr_list management logic
(i.e. moving the 'reset' operation from the callee to the caller), which
IMO would make the usage of a separate function less justified.
