Hello U-Boot users,
This is my first patch, so any suggestions would be welcome.
I have an AMCC Yosemite board, which I recently updated to use the recent ARCH=powerpc work from mainline Linux. Without this patch, trying to boot from a uImage does not work. The kernel panics while trying to parse the device tree blob. Note that a cuImage works fine previous to this patch.
Also, I noticed that when I started booting with a uImage and dtb, that eth0 had a MAC address of 00:00:00:00:00:00. Adding #define CONFIG_HAS_ETH0 1 fixed this issue, by setting the MAC address via the eth0addr variable in U-Boot.
I tested the following setups: 1) Old ARCH=ppc 2.6.13 kernel 2) New ARCH=powerpc 2.6.26rc0 kernel (cuImage) 3) New ARCH=powerpc 2.6.26rc0 kernel (uImage + dtb)
I ran MAKEALL both with and without the patch. The only changes in output were a ~20kB increase in image size for the yellowstone and yosemite boards.
Thanks for all of the great work. Ira

Add support for booting with a device tree blob. This is needed to boot ARCH=powerpc kernels. Also add support for setting the eth0 mac address via the eth0addr variable.
