that's news to me. i see no mention of deprecation in the README file (quite
the opposite ... looks fully supported there), and i see a ton of board
configs defining it:
$ grep 'CONFIG_ETH.*ADDR' include/configs/*.h | wc -l
257
so what's up ?

when would the limit actually be violated ? bi_enetaddr is unsigned char
which means it is impossible for it to be represented as more than two chars.
so storage would always be exactly 2 * 6 + 5 + 1 (17 bytes).
