Some Linux drivers like the smc911x driver, as used on TQMA31, rely on the MAC
address
in the appropriate register, but U-Boot resets the controller after every
transfer.
A patch for the Linux driver is necessary to extract the MAC address from the
kernel
boot parameter line and set the MAC address register accordingly.
This patch adds the kernel parameter "ethaddr" to the U-Boot default
environment so that the
user cannot forget it.
