The configured mc addresses are not removed from application firmware when driver exits. This will cause resource leak when repeatedly creating and destroying VFs.

I think the justification is somewhat questionable, too. VF is by definition not trusted. Does FLR not clean up the resources?

Sorry, it doesn't. And I also find that moving netdev from one namespace to another causes the same problem. So this fix is not for the VF case only.
