Hi Soeren,

Using a MAC address from ROM storage is the normal case for most ethernet hardware. Why should we warn about this?
Most hardware that U-Boot runs on is an SoC and the boards rarely have a ROM associated with the Ethernet MAC. Usually the storage for the ethaddr is the U-Boot environment itself. That's the reason it warns.
