Subject: [PATCH 2/2] nvmem: imx: Swap only the first 6 bytes of the MAC address
Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2025 13:55:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250711120110.12885-3-ceggers@arri.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250711120110.12885-1-ceggers@arri.de>
Since commit 55d4980ce55b ("nvmem: core: support specifying both: cell
raw data & post read lengths"), the aligned length (e.g. '8' instead of
'6') is passed to the read_post_process callback. This causes that the 2
bytes following the MAC address in the ocotp are swapped to the
beginning of the address. As a result, an invalid MAC address is
returned and to make it even worse, this address can be equal on boards
with the same OUI vendor prefix.
Fixes: 55d4980ce55b ("nvmem: core: support specifying both: cell raw data & post read lengths")

Tested on i.MX6ULL, but I assume that this is also required for.
