[PATCH 4/5] ARM: novena: Read Ethernet MAC address from EEPROM

John Watts contact at jookia.org
Sun Jan 22 09:51:40 PST 2023


The Novena has an EEPROM used for storing information about the board,
including the Ethernet MAC address.

The reference for the EEPROM fields is the novena-eeprom source code.
