[PATCH v3 1/2] r8169: Load MAC address from device tree if present

2019-02-06 Thread Thierry Reding
From: Thierry Reding If the system was booted using a device tree and if the device tree contains a MAC address, use it instead of reading one from the EEPROM. This is useful in situations where the EEPROM isn't properly programmed or where the firmware wants to override the existing MAC address.
