Complain about this to the Linux architecture maintainers - there have
been many and longf discussions about this before.

Today we consider the device tree to be the Right Thing (TM) to pass
such information to the kernel, and more and more architectures use
this method.

As long as it's not available for your architecture, the most
straightforward way is to pass an "ethaddr=..." argument on the
kernel command line. Drivers can pick it up easily there. Just don't
expect that such Linux driver code will be accepted for mainline.
