Yeah, so you have two symbols that are =y for your board. One of them
doesn't do anything apart from being there and having a value. Just
removing config MODULE_APX4, putting all the selects into
MACH_APX4DEVKIT and remove the select MODULE_APX4 from it doesn't break
anything.

MODULE_TX28 at least has a separate file that is compiled for it and
that might be useful for maschines that don't necessarily use
mach-tx28.c .

sscanf("%pM", ...) would be straight forward, but I'd be surprised if
that worked. I'd ask on netdev at vger.kernel.org.

Yeah, so a generic solution would be great!

fec.macaddr should work already today.

yes.
