Subject: [PATCH skeleton] Add logic to sync/preserve MAC and UUID
Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2016 22:00:59 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160630030100.2170-1-openbmc-patches@stwcx.xyz> (raw)

Add logic to sync/preserve the MAC and UUID in case of HW replacement.
The MAC and UUID values are set in VPD by the manufacturer. These
values are mirrored to u-boot. During BMC boot, check that VPD and u-boot
are in sync. If they are different, use the vpd value to update u-boot.
Exception is the MAC when it's been set by the admin to have a locally
administered address.
Updating the MAC takes effect immediately, updating the UUID requires a
BMC reboot.
