Personally, I'd prefer using Heikos approach until Arm Linux has moved to device trees. I know it's a deviation from how it's supposed to work, but it also solves a real problem without introducing kludges elsewhere. I think most people (myself included) would just "solve" the problem by carrying a private patch to setup the MAC address in U-boot anyway. // Simon
