Thanks,
I added DT option mac-address-source because there is still possiblility to
have mac address set by the u-boot in the future. Beaglebone have special
eeprom on board, were you can have stored user MAC and u-boot can read
eeprom
data. Maybe some users will want this feature.  Also in cpsw dt binding
documentation, there is mention  /* Filled in by U-Boot */.  For that
purpose,
code I proposed can easily deal with any driver exteds.

Reading CPU mac address registers with (my approach) or without (your
approach) DT should be more discussed. Also your way seems to be fine.

Regards
Michal
