From: Fabio Estevam <festevam@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a19a0582363b9a5f8ba812f34f1b8df394898780 ] When a valid MAC address is not found the current messages are shown: fec 2188000.ethernet (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): Invalid MAC address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 fec 2188000.ethernet (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): Using random MAC address: aa:9f:25:eb:7e:aa Since the network device has not been registered at this point, it is better to use dev_err()/dev_info() instead, which will provide cleaner log messages like these: fec 2188000.ethernet: Invalid MAC address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 fec 2188000.ethernet: Using random MAC address: aa:9f:25:eb:7e:aa Tested on a imx6dl-pico-pi board.
