Yes, I know that, but that's not my point.
Every switch port should be pretty much compliant with
ethernet-controller.yaml, if it could inherit that it would be even
better. And since mac-address is an ethernet-controller.yaml property,
it is pretty much non-obvious at all that you put the mac-address
property directly under the switch, and manually add 0, 1, 2, 3 etc to it.
My request was to parse the mac-address property of each port. Like
this:
base_mac = random;
for_each_port() {
err = of_get_mac_address(port_dn, &port_mac);
if (err)
port_mac = base_mac + port;
}
