The eth code registers an OF tree fixup that looks for any nodes in the Linux oftree that match eth devices loaded in barebox and sets the mac-address property in those nodes. The purpose is to pass MAC addresses to the Linux kernel for drivers that expect the MAC address to be in the device tree. If barebox does not have a driver for the network device, either because it has been disabled or because one does not exist, then the OF tree will not be fixed up to include a MAC address. The eth code also has a list of MAC addresses which board code has registered, usually done when it reads the address from an EEPROM or on-chip memory. If an eth device is created later in the boot, it will look here for an address. The registered MAC address list is not used for the OF tree fix up, and this patch changes that. This way barebox can place a MAC address in the device-tree without needing a driver for the network device.
