Subject: [PATCH] arm: mvebu: Espressobin: Instructions for more MAC addresses in README.marvell
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2020 09:54:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200925075416.16124-1-pali@kernel.org> (raw)
Some Espressobin boards got assigned more than one MAC address. Update
instructions how to correctly store and preserve all MAC addresses.

Recent Linux kernel versions use correct permanent ethernet MAC address from U-Boot env as
U-Boot will inject it into kernel's device-tree.
