From: Bartosz Golaszewski <redacted> On da850-evm board we can read the MAC address from MTD. It's currently done in the relevant board file, but we want to get rid of all the MAC reading callbacks from the board file (SPI and NAND). Move the reading of the MAC address from SPI to the emac driver's probe function.This should be made something generic to all drivers, not just something the davinci_emac driver does, something like this actually: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/24/312
I was thinking about suggesting adding a nvmem provider for MTD devices as well. It would fix the kernel config dependency problems I was running into since nvmem lookups can do -EPROBE_DEFER.
