Of course, but I have not the fuse map for SX. Does it mean that SX has
3 fuses defined for customer's use ?
Reason is also because you are defined a rule how to use it. In many
systems with more as one ethernet, the rule is defined by the customer,
for example using consecutives MAC addresses starting from the first one
stored in SOC or on another storage. In this case, we have a mix between
independent MAC addresses (it will be if MAC addresses are completely
stored) and a dependency (MSB is in common). I find better if this
hidden rule is better explained, adding comments for that.
