Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] net, fec_mxc: use mac address stored in env before looking in eeprom

Hi Wolfgang,

...

Ok, but this driver initialize in fec_probe() (which gets called through fecmxc_initialize() on uboot startup) always the fec mac address registers with eeprom mac address. So, if uboot not uses

The question to me is why fec_probe() is called at all, even in cases where U-Boot does not use any network related commands. This is IMO wrong. Eventually somebody comes up with patches to fix this?

As I said before, this is documented in doc/README.drivers.eth. If you want to change this, then maybe one should first fix the documentation to know what is actually wanted. I certainly have lost track of what is wanted and what is sensible.
