  Hi,

u-boot 2016.11 & newer doesn't set the mac address on my raspberry pi
any more, so the linux kernel picks a random mac address.  Bisected to
this commit:

commit b91c6a1209e7da1a7f989d9ac35d0d8be0b7b710

    Fix return value in trailing_strtoln()
    
    This function should return -1 if there is no trailing integer
    in the string. Instead it returns 0. Fix it by checking for this
    condition at the start.

Appearently this change broke fdt_fixup_ethernet().

cheers,
  Gerd
