Definitely. I wonder if this isn't a perfect candidate for an x86 arch_get_platform_mac_address() implementation? Then you could just use the eth_platform_get_mac_address() helper in the driver and avoid any platform specific code there. Which will automagically make it work as expected on a Sparc too :) This will also make your job next year much easier, when the hardeware guys decided to replace the chip and you need to implement the exact same code in some other driver... See https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/564100/ for a detailed discussion of this interface.
