Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] fdt: rework fdt_fixup_ethernet() to use env instead of bd_t

Dear Kumar Gala,

In message 27B1F145-B4F1-42E8-930C-3A26D1E914CF@kernel.crashing.org you wrote:

With ETH3 being the max today.

Yes. and I have to admit that I really dislike this static configuration which prevents any loops in the code.

We have a part (p4080) in the works with 8 interfaces (its unlikely we'll have support for all 8 in u-boot, but do want to be ablity to set mac addresses for all 8.)

I guess we should try to find some clever way of overcoming the old style.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
