Subject: [PATCH 2/2] dt-bindings: net: add option to ignore local-mac-address
Date: Fri, 17 May 2024 14:39:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240517123909.680686-2-leon@georgemail.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240517123909.680686-1-leon@georgemail.de>

From: "Leon M. Busch-George" <leon@georgemail.eu>

Add the option 'ignore-local-mac-address' to allow ignoring bogus
addresses. This restores the ability to correctly set the MAC address from
the device tree if a boot program stores a randomly generated address in
'local-mac-address'.
