Subject: [PATCH v2] net: Add eth_platform_get_mac_address() helper.
Date: Wed, 06 Jan 2016 16:33:09 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160106.163309.111867454969344145.davem@davemloft.net> (raw)
A repeating pattern in drivers has become to use OF node information
and, if not found, platform specific host information to extract the
ethernet address for a given device.
Currently this is done with a call to of_get_mac_address() and then
some ifdef'd stuff for SPARC.
Consolidate this into a portable routine, and provide the
arch_get_platform_mac_address() weak function hook for all
architectures to implement if they want.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

As promised back in November, I'm commiting this into net-next
now. I'd work on the conversions of existing drivers, but I'd
rather someone with access to the hardware to so.
