I'm very sure that no code in sky2 is writing to GM_MC_ADDR_H[1-4] the
change I see in sky2_link_up(). When sky2_set_multicast() is called
again for any reason, the issue goes away and lacpdus are coming in.

I also experimentally used sky2_set_multicast() called from
sky2_link_up() and it helped as well.
