[akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The patch titled
     atl1: read MAC address from register
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     atl1-read-mac-address-from-register.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: atl1: read MAC address from register
From: Jay Cliburn <jacliburn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

On some Asus motherboards containing the L1 NIC, the MAC address is written by
the BIOS directly to the MAC register during POST, and is not stored in
eeprom.  If we don't succeed in fetching the MAC address from eeprom or spi,
try reading it directly from the MAC register.  Suggested by Xiong Huang.

And do some cleanup while we've got the hood up...
