When running tx switched traffic between VNICs
created via a bridge(to which VFs are added),
adapter drops the unicast packets in tx flow due to
VNIC's ucast mac being unknown to it. But VF interfaces
being in promiscuous mode should have caused adapter
to accept all the unknown ucast packets. Later, it
was found that driver doesn't really configure tx
promiscuous mode settings to accept all unknown unicast macs.
This patch fixes tx promiscuous mode settings to accept all
unknown/unmatched unicast macs and works out the scenario.
