The patch below also looks right to me. I believe it also has the
advantage of u-boot already knowing how to update the
local-mac-address property at boot time.
In my (tested, working, complete) patch series, I allow platform_data
based override of MAC at usbnet level, so all the drivers can benefit
from it.
Is this not a case of "small thinking" from a Device Tree perspective
that Arnd's patch only targets smsc95xx? Or did I miss some
disadvantage to allowing this functional configuration option at usbnet
layer?
I think either way works (usb-net or individual drivers), the difference is
which information you use when both a hardware MAC address and the
local-mac-address property are used. Your patch uses the local-mac-address,
mine would use the hardware mac address and only fall back to the
property if there is no other one.
I still need to look at your patch series, I didn't realize you had
already sent it.
