I think so - 
https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/sys/dev/ic/bcmgenet.c#L427 (BSD 
licensed code, actually the UEFI driver's direct relative). Here you see if 
promisc is off, broadcast address is programmed into the filter as well.

And closer to UEFI reality, here's the Ax88772 driver from edk2-platform: 
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/blob/94b23488bbda4361b6753adf6025c8a1dfabe27b/Drivers/OptionRomPkg/Bus/Usb/UsbNetworking/Ax88772/Ax88772.c#L1081

In short, since we don't want to bother with filters now, let's enable promisc 
any time we're being asked for broadcast?

Eh, are you sure the hardware needs the promiscuous mode enabled to
receive broadcast frames?

The MNP layer already takes care of that.
