The patch titled
bcm43xx: check for valid MAC address in SPROM
has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is
bcm43xx-check-for-valid-mac-address-in-sprom.patch
See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find
out what to do about this
From: Stefano Brivio <stefano.brivio@xxxxxxxxx>
Check for valid MAC address in SPROM fields instead of relying on PHY type
while setting the MAC address in the networking subsystem, as some devices
have multiple PHYs.
