Geting mac address from FUSE is the right way for mx51 and it's not difficult to add FUSE read function due to the FUSE read is simple as the memory read. I have seen that Shawn has posted the patches to Linaro-uboot git there.
It's a pity that Linaro does it's development out-of-tree, but it's their decision, and we cannot help it.
Hmmm . . . I'm doing OMAP3 & 4 u-boot work for Linaro and *all* of my work is based on current mainline!
technically speaking, *everyone* is doing work "based on mainline". but if you're maintaining a fork without getting merged, then Wolfgang's statement is still pretty correct. if i cant checkout current mainline from Wolfgang and get stuff working, then something is wrong.
I can't speak for others, but the lifetime of a patch in my working branch is just a few days before it gets posted to the list.
Frankly I can't imagine working any closer to top of tree. I do daily merges and builds and send fix patches as soon as I have them.
