The NCSI driver defines a generic ncsi_channel_filter struct that can be used to store arbitrarily formatted filters, and several generic methods of accessing data stored in such a filter. However in both the driver and as defined in the NCSI specification there are only two actual filters: VLAN ID filters and MAC address filters. The splitting of the MAC filter into unicast, multicast, and mixed is also technically not necessary as these are stored in the same location in hardware. To save complexity, particularly in the set up and accessing of these generic filters, remove them in favour of two specific structs. These can be acted on directly and do not need several generic helper functions to use. This also fixes a memory error found by KASAN on ARM32 (which is not upstream yet), where response handlers accessing a filter's data field could write past allocated memory.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
