I read the arm-linux mailing lists and I saw similar discussions
there. Now it's clear to me that u-boot shouldn't initialize the EMAC
(MACB) registers with the MAC address. In the newer kernel releases (
2.6.26 or newer ) there is a fix for the MACB driver and it can be
used for boards that do not store their MAC address in a nonvolatile
memory like an EEPROM.

Thank you for your time and quick response to questions.

Please consider the u-boot patch from the previous post for the next
merge window.

Best regards,
