Sometimes, in some embedded systems boards (i.e. ARM boards), the NVM eeprom is not mounted, to save cost and space. In this case it is necessary to bypass the NVM management and directly force the MAC address using a kernel command-line parameter (macaddr). Signed-off-by: Flavio Suligoi <f.suligoi@asem.it>
Sorry, we don't do things this way. Otherwise every single driver would add a hack like this. Add either DT or appropriate initrd userland components to achieve this.
