blogic 93d05b5364 mpc85xx: fix WAN/LAN-MAC for TP-LINK TL-WDR4900 v1 
This works around a bootloader issue where every device
has the same lan/wan-mac 00:04:9f:ef:01:01 - with this patch
we read the macs from config-partition during initial network
setup. We have 9 valid macs stored in the partition, the
1st two are used for the radios, 3 and 4 are now used for WAN/LAN.

on an already setup / running device we can get the real macs with
. /lib/functions.sh
. /lib/functions/system.sh
echo "LAN = $(mtd_get_mac_binary config 338)"
echo "WAN = $(mtd_get_mac_binary config 344)"

U-Boot passed this commit ecd1a09b81
http://u-boot.10912.n7.nabble.com/U-Boot-PATCH-mpc83xx-remove-hardcoded-network-addresses-from-config-files-td44372.html
I suppose to prevent this particular issue, but the WDR4900 may be using an old bootloader still affected.
                                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I have been checking the contents of the dtb on the flash, this particular bit is quite revealing:

ethernet@b0000 {
                        #address-cells = <0x1>;
                        #size-cells = <0x1>;
                        device_type = "network";
                        model = "eTSEC";
                        compatible = "fsl,etsec2";
                        fsl,num_rx_queues = <0x8>;
                        fsl,num_tx_queues = <0x8>;
                        local-mac-address = [00 00 00 00 00 00];
                                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

                        interrupt-parent = <0x2>;
                        phy-handle = <0x3>;
                        phy-connection-type = "rgmii-id";
                        ptimer-handle = <0x4>;

                        queue-group@0 {
                                #address-cells = <0x1>;
                                #size-cells = <0x1>;
                                reg = <0xb0000 0x1000>;
                                rx-bit-map = <0xff>;
                                tx-bit-map = <0xff>;
                                interrupts = <0x1d 0x2 0x1e 0x2 0x22 0x2>;
                        };
                };

I also have been checking the live device map to find this:

root@GHS-AP3:~# hexdump -C /proc/device-tree/soc@ffe00000/ethernet@b0000/local-mac-address
00000000  00 04 9f ef 01 01                                 |......|
00000006
root@GHS-AP3:~# hexdump -C /proc/device-tree/soc@ffe00000/ethernet@b1000/local-mac-address
*
root@GHS-AP3:~# hexdump -C /proc/device-tree/soc@ffe00000/ethernet@b2000/local-mac-address
*

My conclussion is that U-Boot most likely finds the device and (as no valid MAC-address is provided)
falls back to the default MAC provided by the old code, the kernel then receives thee modified
device map from U-Boot and assumes this is the correct MAC for the device despite it obviously isn't.

This can be seen at
target/linux/mpc85xx/patches-3.10/140-powerpc-85xx-tl-wdr4900-v1-support.patch

The enetaddr is filled up by using the device tree data by the process_boot_dtb
function and used by the platform_fixups function to set the eth0 address
(by calling dt_fixup_mac_address_by_alias("ethernet0", enetaddr); ).
But instead we should be used the device address which to my understanding is
provided in the mtd.

README 

This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution.

Please use "make menuconfig" to configure your appreciated
configuration for the toolchain and firmware.

You need to have installed gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl, make,
find, grep, diff, unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers.

Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to get all the latest package definitions
defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively
and "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks of all of them into
package/feeds/.

Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image.

Simply running "make" will build your firmware.
It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain, 
the kernel and all choosen applications.

You can use "scripts/flashing/flash.sh" for remotely updating your embedded
system via tftp.

The OpenWrt system is documented in docs/. You will need a LaTeX distribution
and the tex4ht package to build the documentation. Type "make -C docs/" to build it.

To build your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system
(case-sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin will not be supported because of
the lack of case sensitiveness in the file system.
