SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] net: davicom: dm9000: allow to pass MAC address through mac_addr module parameter
Hi Nikolaus,

What I'd suggest is to write a NVMEM driver for the efuse and retrieve
the MAC address cleanly with nvmem_get_mac_address().

It shouldn't be hard to do (there's already code for it in the
non-upstream 3.18 kernel for the CI20) and you remove the dependency on
uboot.
