So why not just take 760db29bdc completely? It looks safer than taking a
partial backport, and will make applying future patches easier.

I tried to do it and it doesn't look like there are any dependencies
that would cause an issue.

Somehow i was convinced it didn't build on 4.4.x... can you pick it up?

   lan78xx: Read MAC address from DT if present

   There is a standard mechanism for locating and using a MAC address from
   the Device Tree. Use this facility in the lan78xx driver to support
   applications without programmed EEPROM or OTP. At the same time,
   regularise the handling of the different address sources.

Can you confirm it actually works on 4.4?
