[PATCH V2] ARM: mx28: Skip OCOTP FEC MAC setup if in DT

[Marek Vasut]

Dear Shawn Guo,

> Currently, the kernel unconditionally adds "local-mac-address" and
> "mac-address" properties under both FEC ethernet DT nodes in case
> the update_fec_mac_prop() function is called. These properties are
> loaded with MAC address compiled from vendors OUI and a per-device
> NIC saved in OCOTP storage.
> 
> Some more advanced bootloaders do augment the DT passed to the kernel
> by these properties already. In such case, it is wrong for kernel to
> override these values.
> 
> Adjust the FEC MAC address loading so that in case the DT properties
> are already present in the DT passed from the bootloader, skip the
> loading from OCOTP altogether. If the DT properties are not present,
> load them from OCOTP.
> 
> Note that the later case will lead to zeroed out MAC address if OCOTP
> is not programmed. This will lead to FEC not working at all.

Can we apply this for 3.7? I believe it is harmless and beneficial for some 
parties at least.
