[PATCH 0/6] kernel parameters: introduce "macaddr" to set mac address

In the past drivers grew mechanism to set their own mac address at boot time
via (usually) a module parameter. Unfortunately every single driver had its
own naming/implementation and it soon became clear that a generic
mechanism was needed.

Introduce "macaddr=", a new kernel parameter to set MAC address using
netdevice ops (and hence being hardware independent).

After 0001 is committed, we can garbage collect some custom driver code
that does the same functionality (0002-0006).

I couldn't find the maintainers of ksz884x, sunhme and fec, so pleace cc:
them if you know who they are.

  macaddr kernel bootargs implementation
  stmmac: remove mac address handling as a module parameter
  ksz884x: remove mac address handling as a module parameter
  greth: remove mac address handling as a module parameter
  sunhme: remove mac address handling as a module parameter
  fec: remove mac address handling as a module parameter
