Is it possible to configure an IPv6 multicast address to a NIC?

Is it possible to configure an address from ff00::/8 address block to a NIC? Looks like it is not possible:

# ip a add ff99::1/8 dev p2p1
RTNETLINK answers: Cannot assign requested address
# 
# ip maddr add ff99::1/8 dev p2p1
"ff99" is invalid lladdr.
Error: "ff99" is not a legal ll address.
