Hi all,

I'm noticing some different behavior in between 1.3.0RC3 and the
latest 85xx git repo regarding MAC addresses. With 1.3.0RC3 and
before, my mac address defined for CONFIG_ETH2ADDR et all got passed
into the blob I sent to my 2.6.24RC2 kernel via u-boot. Now, the
address doesn't get set and the kernel sees "00:00:00:00:00:00" for my
eth2 and of course it doesn't work.

I noticed at least one other recent case of this issue, and the
'solution' was to code in the mac address into the dts file - I tried
that and it does work. However, what's a proper solution for passing a
MAC address to the kernel from the latest u-boot?

Thanks,
Robert
