    net/smscx5xx: use the device tree for mac address · c489565b
    Arnd Bergmann authored
    This takes the MAC address for smsc75xx/smsc95xx USB network devices
    from a the device tree. This is required to get a usable persistent
    address on the popular beagleboard, whose hardware designers
    accidentally forgot that an ethernet device really requires an a
    MAC address to be functional.
    
    The Raspberry Pi also ships smsc9514 without a serial EEPROM, stores
    the MAC address in ROM accessible via VC4 firmware.
    
    The smsc75xx and smsc95xx drivers are just two copies of the
    same code, so better fix both.
