[PATCH] ARM: sunxi: dt: add EMAC aliases

[PATCH] ARM: sunxi: dt: add EMAC aliases

[Emilio López]

U-Boot uses the ethernet0 alias to locate the right node to fill in
the MAC address of the first ethernet interface. This patch adds the
alias on all the sunxi boards with EMAC and an ethernet port. In this
way, people using ethernet in U-Boot (eg, for tftp) can keep a consistent
address on both U-Boot and Linux with no additional effort.

Hi everyone,

I have tested this on a cubieboard2 and found it to work as intended, 
and I don't see why it wouldn't work on the other boards, given that 
the U-Boot codebase is shared. It may be worth submitting this for 
3.13-rc0, but I'm not the one that has to make that call :)

Cheers,

Emilio

I think it would make more sense to add it to the dtsi.

v1->v2:
   add to dtsi instead of dts as suggested by Maxime; it's easier to 
   maintain on the long run.

[PATCH v2] ARM: sunxi: dt: add EMAC aliases

[Michal Suchanek]

Unfortunately,

a20 has two Ethernets so you can't alias both to ethernet0.

This has to be done on a per-board basis.

Thanks

Michal

That was my first thought, and partly why I did it per-board on v1 (the 
other part being that some boards do not have a phy, so having an 
ethernet0 alias felt "wrong"). But after some quick testing, it appears 
that aliases are overridable, so we could just add ethernet0 = &gmac; on 
qualifying boards when the gmac support is ready.

Cheers,

Emilio

Or we will just add it as ethernet1. U-boot is able to put the
mac-address in the DT for every ethernet* nodes for as much ethernet
nodes as you need.

I guess that would be fine for CT and CB2 which can have only one
physical ethernet (unless there are pins for adding another PHY) but
if there is ever board with two ethernets you want only one of them to
 get the mac address from u-boot.

Thanks

I'm not sure to get why. ethernet0 would get ethaddr, ethernet1 would
get eth1addr. How is that an issue?
