The lan9118 emulation tries to compute the multicast index by calling
directly the crc32() function from zlib, but fails to get the correct
result.

Use the common compute_mcast_idx() function instead, which gives the
correct result. This fixes IPv6 support.

There is another crc32() call in hw/lan9118.c:lan9118_receive().  Can
that be replaced too and then #include <zlib.h> can be dropped?

I don't think so, at least not easily. This is a different call (the
length is variable), and most emulated NICs have a call to crc32(), but
in slightly different ways.

Okay.  I haven't looked at the datasheet for this NIC, so I have no
more input to this patch except that it looks fine.

Ping?

For the record the Linux kernel uses the ether_crc() function for
smsc911x.c, but also for 8139cp.c, 8139too.c and ethoc.c, which use
compute_mcast_idx() on the QEMU side.

To test it, just run this machine with a Linux kernel with IPv6 support
on an IPv6-enabled network with router advertisement, it should get an
IPv6 address automatically. It doesn't without this patch.

Looks ok to me. I did check the data sheet, which helpfully doesn't
say exactly what the CRC function is, and also the zlib docs (which
suggest we should use something that isn't what we were doing here).
So I guess

Happy for you to commit directly or I can put it in arm-devs.next
if you prefer.
