[PATCH 5 1/2] NET ethernet introduce eth-mac-platform helper

From: Andy Green <andy at warmcat.com>
This introduces a small helper in net/ethernet, which registers a network
notifier at core_initcall time, and accepts registrations mapping expected
asynchronously-probed network device paths (like, "usb1/1-1/1-1.1/1-1.1:1.0")
and the MAC that is needed to be assigned to the device when it appears.
This allows platform code to enforce valid, consistent MAC addresses on to
devices that have not been probed at boot-time, but due to being wired on the
board are always present at the same interface. It has been tested with USB
and SDIO probed devices.
Other parts of this series provide an OMAP API that computes a valid
locally administered MAC address from CPU ID bits that are unique for each
physical SoC, and register those against devices wired to the board.
This solves a longstanding problem in at least Panda case that there are no
reserved MACs for either onboard Ethernet nor onboard WLAN module, and without
this patch a randomized MAC is assigned to Ethernet and 00:00:00:00:00:00 or
0xdeadbeef is assigned as the WLAN MAC address. The series provides sane,
constant locally-administered MAC addresses that have a high probability of
differing between boards.
To make use of this safely you also need to make sure that any drivers that
may compete for the bus ordinal you are using (eg, mUSB and ehci in Panda
case) are loaded in a deterministic order.
At registration it makes a copy of the incoming data, so the data may be
__initdata or otherwise transitory. Registration can be called multiple times
so registrations from Device Tree and platform may be mixed.
Since it needs to be called quite early in boot and there is no lifecycle for
what it does, it could not be modular and is not a driver.
Via suggestions from Arnd Bergmann and Tony Lindgren (and Alan Cox for the
network notifier concept).
