I just noticed today that there is a patch committed [1] in the
u-boot-davinci tree (Sandeep Paulraj, the maintainer, has been added
to the cc) which does the same as this patch and also predates it. I
am sorry: I was unaware of the da850 changes in that tree when I
worked on this and other patches. In my defense, the description of
that repo is "DaVinci DM3xx/DM6446 U-Boot integration/staging tree."
Whereas I had been porting changes from the u-boot-omapl1 tree [2]
which is described as the "DA8xx/OMAP-L1xx U-Boot integration/staging
tree."

Also relevant are the following patches where you have made changes to
the u-boot-davinci tree which predate the changes I have submitted for
2010.12: "da850: Enable Davinci EMAC driver" [3] which predates my
"[PATCH v6 2/2][NEXT] da850evm: basic MII EMAC support." [4] The
changes here are very similar except for the differences resulting
from my implementing the davinci_eth_set_mac_addr extraction as
requested by Ben Warren (on the CC since I am singling him out).

I apologize for being oblivious to the integration efforts in that
tree. I would very much like to see more complete da850 support in
2010.12 -- how would you like to proceed? I am happy to withdraw the
patches and review/test any that you post in their place.

Best Regards,
Ben Gardiner
