> This patch improves the logic used by the mvneta driver to find a MAC

> generating a random MAC address.

> bootloader. So the order is now:
> 
>  1) MAC address from the Device Tree
>  2) MAC address from the hardware registers
>  3) Random MAC address
> 
> This requires moving the MAC address initialization a little bit later
> in the ->probe() code, because it now requires the hardware registers
> to be remapped.
