At least on Armada 370/XP, U-Boot passes the MAC address through a
special ATAG. Willy Tarreau has written some code to read this special
ATAG and feed it into the Device Tree, so that we get the MAC address
as set by U-Boot. I unfortunately haven't had the time to look at
Willy's code and push it, but it does seem like an interesting solution.
Are you interested?
Thomas
