That's only the first stage.

After that, the custodian decides what is acceptable for mainline, and
after that the project mainainer - ummm, that's me.

And we do not accept any "default network configurations" in mainline.

I'm really fed up by zillions of devices all coming up with the very
same MAC address just because the board vendor (1) has no clue and (2)
is too stingy to buy a block of MAC addresses.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
