This patch allows Kconfig to enable and set parameters to make it possible to read the MAC address from an EEPROM. This patch only sets up some environment variables, it is up to the specific boards to actually use these defines.
Besides the various tuneables as to how to access the eeprom (bus, address, addressing mode/length, 2 configurable that are EEPROM generic (e.g. SPI or some other form of access) which are:
NET_ETHADDR_EEPROM_OFFSET, indicating where in the EEPROM the start of the MAC address is. The default is 8 allowing for 8 bytes before the MAC for other purposes (header MAGIC for example).
NET_ETHADDR_EEPROM_CRC8, indicating the MAC is appended with a CRC8-CCIT checksum that should be verified.
Currently only I2C eeproms have been tested and thus only those options are available, but shouldn't be a limit. NET_ETHADDR_EEPROM_SPI can be just as created.
