Because I did it in the net stuff as well, where I used the 
'is_zero_mac()'' to indicate things where not setup properly. I guess it 
can go here ...

fair point, You caught me on being lazy :) I didn't think of it for such 
a simple tool. I'll put it in the next version.

right, no prob.

It is strange, and we even have a nice function in u-boot I belive, but 
it's a pain to get to add it to this, hence the manual way. I'll add 
some doc to the func as well.

yeah i do like the separate var for here.
