iirc, our solution to this was to parse the ATAGs for the mac addr and
update the appended dtb.  This way, module load and unload would work
without loosing the mac address.  I believe Jason Gunthorpe has a patch
to atags_to_fdt() for this...  This should allow us to get rid of the
clocks hack.

Sorry, no, we don't use ATAGs here, our platforms start the kernel
with a correct DTB that has the correct mac address to use. My patch
was to have the driver accept it, and I think Sebastian has already
got that functionality...

Yes, you're right.

thx,

Jason.
