When booting an 8347 processor, the MAC addresses (ethaddr and eth1addr) don't seem to get passed anymore.
I modified my config to include CONFIG_HAS_ETH0 and CONFIG_HAS_ETH1 and I am entering the code in fdt_fixup_ethernet (common/fdt_support.c) but get stuck at node = fdt_path_offset(fdt, "/aliases");
Once this fails, the MAC addresses are not passed along.
Any search on [mleeman@neo linux-2.6.24]$ grep aliases arch/powerpc/boot/dts|wc -l 0
turns up empty for the 2.6.24 kernels, looking for "aliases" in the kernel Documentation does not give a hit that seems relevant for device trees.
and the only ref that seems to be on topic is: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/36004
Is this using some dts node that is not yet in the released kernel (2.6.24) [1]?
