[PATCH V2] net: ethernet: davinci_emac: Use MAC Address from Device Tree

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently there is a device tree entry called "local-mac-address"
which can be filled by the bootloader or manually set.This is
useful when the user does not want to use the MAC address
programmed into the SoC.

Currently, the davinci_emac reads the MAC from the DT, copies
it from pdata->mac_addr to priv->mac_addr, then blindly overwrites
it by reading from registers in the SoC, and falls back to a
random MAC if it's still not valid.  This completely ignores any
MAC address in the device tree.

In order to use the local-mac-address, check to see if the contents
of priv->mac_addr are valid before falling back to reading from the
SoC when the MAC address is not valid.

V2:  Rebase, add R-B tag, and post stand-alone for netdev branch, since
     the device tree patch has already been accepted via the omap tree.
