Hi all,
The MAC address retrieval logic was broken and when using the PPv2 driver on PPv2.2 engines I ended up using the same mac address on all ports. This series of patches fixes this, and also tackle a possible bug when defining the mac address in the device tree.
To fix this in a nice way I ended up using a dedicated function to handle the mac retrieval logic. This can be hard to backport into stable kernels. This is why I also made a quick fix which is easy to backport (patch 1/14), to tackle down the PPv2.2 mac retrieval bug. Let me know if this approach is the proper way to handle this or if I should do something else.
Thanks! Antoine
