Re: [U-Boot-Users] 1.3.2-rc2 83xx CONFIG_HAS_ETHX not passing MAC addresses

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.

Disclaimer: I have not researched this...

I presume the problem is that the /aliases node doesn't exist in your tree (original kernel .dts source, and thus the .dtb blob). One simple solution would be to create the /aliases node if it doesn't exist, just like we create the /chosen node if it doesn't exist.
