The last time this problem came up (for am335x cpsw) the kernel folks pushed back on having the kernel read the MAC and stated that it should get passed into the DT by $bootloaders. I'm fine with either, but be warned that the kernel networking guys are touchy about this :) regards, Koen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
