I would also suggest adding a call to of_get_mac_address() so you can read the address out of the device tree when it is not configured in hardware. Today, the driver relies on a module parameter or platform_data on hardware with a mac address set. The other information that is currently encoded in platform_data is the phy mode. How about adding a property that enables RMII mode when present?
Ah, yes. I missed that. Will add support for local-mac-address and phy-mode. Thanks, Arnd. -- Regards, Shawn
