The only user of ALLFFMAC is the flowring module so no need to
expose it in a header file.

Hi Kalle,

I recall Joe Perches posted patches dealing with broadcast address declarations,
but don't know what happened with those. In patchwork [1] is says 'Not Applicable'
whatever that means. I noticed Johannes set similar mac80211 change to
'Awaiting Upstream'. Anyway, when applying this patch the patch in [1] needs to
be reworked.

Regards,
Arend

'Not Applicable' means that I have assumed that the patch is not
suitable for my tree for whatever reason, I guess in this case because
it was part of a bigger patchset.
