This is needed to give the MIPS Ingenic CI20 board a stable MAC address
which can be optionally provided by vendor U-Boot.

For get_mac_addr() we use an adapted copy of from ksz884x.c which
has very similar functionality.

Hi Nikolaus

Please split these patches by subsystem. So this one patch needs to go
via netdev.

Module parameters are not liked.

Can it be passed via device tree? The driver already has code to get
it out of the device tree.

Yep, typically U-Boot adds an appropriate "local-mac-address" property to the
network device's device node, based on the "ethernet0" alias.

However, the real clue here may be "vendor U-Boot", i.e. no support for the
above?

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

Yes. It is a fallback solution like it is implemented for ksz884x.c to make it
work with existing (older) U-Boot installation.

Maybe I should better clarify this in the commit message for v2 (which goes
to netdev only).

BR and thanks,
Nikolaus
