Subject: [PATCH] net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw: Lower random mac address error print to info
Date: Fri, 16 May 2025 07:26:55 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250516122655.442808-1-nm@ti.com> (raw)

Using random mac address is not an error since the driver continues to
function, it should be informative that the system has not assigned
a MAC address. This is inline with other drivers such as ax88796c,
dm9051 etc. Drop the error level to info level.

This is esp irritating on platforms such as J721E-IDK-GW which has a
bunch of ethernet interfaces, and not all of them have MAC address
assigned from Efuse.
