It is a linking error. I will fix in the next version

What do you think if I do something like this in the lan966x_main.h

---
#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6)
static inline bool lan966x_hw_offload_ipv6(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
	if (skb->protocol == htons(ETH_P_IPV6) &&
	    ipv6_addr_is_multicast(&ipv6_hdr(skb)->daddr) &&
	    !ipv6_mc_check_mld(skb))
		return false;

	return true;
}
#else
static inline bool lan966x_hw_offload_ipv6(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
	return false;
}
#endif
---

And then in lan966x_main.c just call this function.

I was also looking at other drivers on how they use 'ipv6_mc_check_mld'.
Then I have seen that drivers/net/amt.c and net/bridge/br_multicast.c
they wrap this function with #if.
But then there is net/batman-adv/multicast.c which doesn't do that and
it can compile and link without CONFIG_IPV6 and I just don't see how
that is working.
