What does this have to do with corenet?

No need for the <SoC> part. As we previously discussed, the only purpose of this node is backwards compatibility with the U-Boot MAC address fixup -- if U-Boot doesn't look for the <SoC> version, then don't complicate things. Though, I can't find where U-Boot references this node. Are you sure it's not using the ethernet%d aliases like everything else, in which case why do we need this node at all? -Scott
