Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH 1/4]: arm: Kirkwood: Set MAC address during registration for kirkwood egiga

Dear Simon Kagstrom,

In message 20090713101307.30d3d13c@marrow.netinsight.se you wrote:

OK, so until ARM has moved to the device tree approach (and from LKML I see there is some vocal opposition to this), we'd still need to resort to some driver-specific hack [with Linux support] for this?

Driver-specific hack or fix yes - but in Linux, not in U-Boot.

Or is it OK to do some board-specific "hack" to initialize it like

board/atmel/at91rm9200ek/misc.c

does it?

I this driver does something like this, then it should ne fixed.

Coming from a PowerPC-setting, I must say I miss the device trees though :-)

Me, too. Let's keep the fingers crossed that gcl makes fast progress.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
