But this fails with my beaglebone white.

I tested Markus's patches and it came up with the same ethaddr that
U-Boot had.

From U-Boot:

ethaddr=d4:94:a1:8b:ec:78

With Markus's changes:

 eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr D4:94:A1:8B:EC:78

But when I changed the code to match what you wrote, I got this:

 eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr CE:5A:8B:0E:44:45

but it also gave me:

cpsw 4a100000.ethernet: Random MACID = ce:5a:8b:0e:44:45

which means it failed the valid mac test.

Here's how I implemented your change:

#if 1
        mac_addr[0] = (macid_hi & 0xFF0000) >> 16;
        mac_addr[1] = (macid_hi & 0xFF00) >> 8;
        mac_addr[2] = macid_hi & 0xFF;
        mac_addr[3] = (macid_lo & 0xFF0000) >> 16;
        mac_addr[4] = (macid_lo & 0xFF00) >> 8;
        mac_addr[5] = macid_lo & 0xFF;

#else   
        mac_addr[5] = (macid_lo >> 8) & 0xff;
        mac_addr[4] = macid_lo & 0xff;
        mac_addr[3] = (macid_hi >> 24) & 0xff;
        mac_addr[2] = (macid_hi >> 16) & 0xff;
        mac_addr[1] = (macid_hi >> 8) & 0xff;
        mac_addr[0] = macid_hi & 0xff;
#endif  

Just to be consistent, I updated the code as this too:

        mac_addr[0] = (macid_hi >> 16) & 0xFF;
        mac_addr[1] = (macid_hi >> 8) & 0xFF;
        mac_addr[2] = macid_hi & 0xFF;
        mac_addr[3] = (macid_lo >> 16) & 0xFF;
        mac_addr[4] = (macid_lo >> 8) & 0xFF;
        mac_addr[5] = macid_lo & 0xFF;

With the same affect.

Thus, for this patchset, as is:
