[PATCH] rockchip: board: assign up to 3 static Ethernet MAC addresses

sorry I missed your message that time. I thought about the chicken&egg 
issue with the aliases being defined in Linux and used in U-Boot, and 
chose to offer the patch for U-Boot first, since the aliases can be 
defined in Linux via device tree overlays, without touching sources and 
recompiling the kernel.

I will offer a patch to Linux then, hope the reaction is not similar 
there like "why should we define aliases which are not used by anything?" :)

Maybe this is the common order, and certainly has the benefit that you 
can sync the aliases back into U-Boot device trees, so those benefit 
from the same static MAC addresses, in case they are really applied to 
U-Boot device tree aliases as well.

I'll keep you updated regarding Linux patch.

Best regards,
Micha
