Subject: [U-Boot] net, fec_mxc: init mac address before using network commands
Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2010 07:38:33 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4BB18E59.5000004@denx.de> (raw)

initialize mac address with the value from "ethaddr", before
doing some network commands. This is not in line with u-boot
design principle "not to initalize not used devices", and
maybe should go away, if there is a solution for passing
the mac address to arm linux kernels.

Tested on the magnesium board.
