Dear Rob Herring,
In message 1323129873-8786-1-git-send-email-robherring2@gmail.com you wrote:
The env variable "ethaddr" may not be set, so get the address from the eth_device struct instead. This also enables pxe for secondary ethernet devices.
This is not correct. The "ethaddr" environment variable shall always take precedence. Feel free to _additionally_ test other places that store this information. If the "ethaddr" environment variable is not set, then this alternative value can be used as default. In this case a warning should be printed. If both settings exist and differ, the "ethaddr" environment variable shall be used, and a warning be printed, too.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
