No, i would expect the default is that the upper layer expects the
device to always receive broadcast. However maybe your device does
not? It is at least something to test. Maybe take a look at the Linux
driver and see what it does for its multicast call. You cannot
directly use the code, since it is GPL, but you can look and see if it
does anything interesting.
