Yes, it seems like something else must be going on as well as "usbethaddr" which U-Boot will populate with a MAC based on the OMAP DIE ID doesn't get populated into the DT only ethaddr. And the follow-up is that it would be nice if someone would go and patch the last driver in U-Boot that uses usbethaddr to use ethaddr like all of the rest do. -- Tom
