Understood. Ultimately, I'll use this board as a router, and stable
mac addresses would be better than random. So I would be interested
to try your atag -> device tree patches. Have they been posted
somewhere I can find them?
Thanks Willy.

Just booted with the patch on my Mirabox. Both interfaces work!
Thank you Thomas.
One remaining issue is that the interface which uBoot didn't
configure
is still getting a random mac address:
mvneta d0070000.ethernet eth0: Using hardware mac address
f0:ad:4e:01:dc:97
mvneta d0074000.ethernet eth1: Using random mac address
d2:35:dd:c8:99:48
This is on 3.11 plus Thomas' patch, which includes the previous fix
to
"read MAC address from hardware when available". Perhaps that fix
isn't working with the phylib?
No this is unrelated. The MAC isn't configured by the boot loader when
the NIC is not used. U-boot only passes it as a non-standard ATAG. I
have some patches to reinject the non-standard atags into the device
tree if you absolutely need this, but they're not suited for mainline
inclusion from what I understood last time I proposed them (they use
a marvell-specific atag header).
Regards,
Willy
