Dear Mike Frysinger,

ive pushed up to my macaddr branch. the changes are:
- rebased against latest master mainline master
- expanded vprintf() changelog a bit
- squashed the ppc load_sernum_ethaddr() changes into 1 commit
- fixed the return value in eth_getenv_enetaddr()
- fixed bugs in the net cdp code pointed out in 2nd patch series
Thanks. Unfortunately the first patch in the series (the printf extension) breaks some board - I just did a small test and got this:
Configuring for TQM860L board... /home/wd/git/u-boot/next/board/tqc/tqm8xx/u-boot.lds:145 cannot move location counter backwards (from 40008088 to 40008000) make: *** [u-boot] Error 1 ppc_8xx-size: './u-boot': No such file
Mike - do you want to fix the loader script, or do you want the board maintainer to do that (i. e. me) ?
I think we should do these changes BEFORE appplying your patch series (to avoid bisect issues), what do you think?
Note (especially to Jean-Christophe who asked):
I measured the size impact of the printf changes; a short scan on seven PowerPC boards showed an average size increase of 1.6 kB:
