4 Subject: [PATCH] of/of_net: write back netdev MAC-address to device-tree
6 The label-mac logic relies on the mac-address property of a netdev
7 devices of-node. However, the mac address can also be stored as a
8 different property or read from e.g. an mtd device.
10 Create this node when reading a mac-address from OF if it does not
11 already exist and copy the mac-address used for the device to this
12 property. This way, the MAC address can be accessed using procfs.
