Fair enough, but the changes that are in York's patch have been tested. Considering that the fix window for 1.3.3 is closing fast, we don't have the bandwidth for additional testing of the additional and unrelated changes that are being requested.
What exactly is the risk?
Probably not much, but that isn't my point. I find it really annoying when someone posts a patch to fix a specific bug, and the reply is "why don't you fix this other bug too, while you're at it?"
Right now, the 8313ERDB will generate a machine check if you boot it with the top-of-tree kernel. This patch fixes that. For 1.3.4, if you like, we can submit a patch that removes all MAC and IP address macros from all 83xx boards.
That seems reasonable. Wolfgang, if you agree, please pull York's patch directly.
