Fix dropping of IPv6 packets with unspecified source address
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Related to FreeRTOS#1124

Remove the check for the source address being `::` in `prvAllowIPPacketIPv6` function.

* Update the comment to reflect that only the destination address is checked.
* Allow IPv6 packets with a source address of `::` to be processed further.
