Here are my suggestions-

1. commond/random_mac.c should be added
2. call back function should be provided to generate random number, those

should be defined in arch specific code (for Kirkwood arch-kirkwood/cpu.c) 3. mac randomization should be enabled by CONFIG_SYS_LOCAL_MAC_RANDOMIZATION macro 4. For mvgbe uses it should be enabled by default in include/configs/mv-common.h. 5. for corner case like edminiv2, in should be undefed in board config file 6. Some documentation should be supported for this generic framework.

i think Wolfgang already NAK-ed this idea. but he'd have to clarify. -mike
