What is the current design on the mxc fec interface's attainment of a
MAC address. From the kernel driver it looks like it looks at the
IIM(IC identification registers) on the MXC platform(like mx51/35) to
look for a programmed mac address and then the set the fec mac to the
same .

Looks like with the current mxc_fec driver there is not support for
the same. I am thinking of a mechanism to hardcode a fake MAC which
would subsequently be picked up by the kernel without using the
bd_info structure.
Any comments/suggestions?

-Alfred.
