[U-Boot] [PATCH 01/27] Blackfin: bfin_mac: force board_get_enetaddr() usage

Dear Mike Frysinger,

Maybe discouraged and deprecated are not really optimal terms here,
but what is?

Fact is, that ther eare very few legitimate uses of CONFIG_ETHADDR,
but then these uses *are* legitimate (but then this is strictly
board-specific code, definitely not in any global files).

We  currently  handle  this  through  code  reviews  -  if  you   use
CONFIG_ETHADDR, we ask you why. In your case, it seems CONFIG_ETHADDR
should not be used at all.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
