[U-Boot] [PATCH] rpi: set ethaddr as well
Let's set "ethaddr" when we get the ethernet address too, so that fdt_fixup_ethernet() sets the address in the device tree and the Linux driver can pick it up.

You need to Cc the maintainer who will apply this (Tom Rini).
This seems OK, but ...

Rather than setting duplicate environment variables, wouldn't it be better to modify the code that copies ethaddr into the DT so that it used the correct environment variable for the platform? Perhaps that's not worth it though.
Why use setenv() directly rather than just calling eth_setenv_enetaddr() in both places? In the current code, I wonder what happens if eth_setenv_enetaddr() fails, so presumably getenv() returns NULL or whatever random value usbethaddr had since it wasn't over-written?

Applied to u-boot/master, thanks!
