This patch improves the logic used by the mvneta driver to find a MAC address for a particular interface. Until now, it was only looking at the Device Tree, and if no address was found, was falling back to generating a random MAC address. This patch adds the intermediate solution of reading the MAC address from the hardware registers, in case it has been set by the bootloader. So the order is now: 1) MAC address from the Device Tree 2) MAC address from the hardware registers 3) Random MAC address This requires moving the MAC address initialization a little bit later in the ->probe() code, because it now requires the hardware registers to be remapped.
