It's hardcoded all over, if you look at how all the other fields from the features
are read. I can change it if you really think it's worth, however I'd rather
do a proper cleanup of how all the properties are read at once :)

Yeah but dwmac4 has a hash filter, but same as the UC filter it's just not plumbed
in :/

Let's leave this flag here, hash filter addition for MC filtering is coming-up, so let's not
drop it now only to re-enable it after, one of the other wonderful discoveries found by
running the selftests...
