H A Dsmsc75xx.cdiff c489565b536ff5382460273fd9513f0adebec024 Fri Apr 29 02:05:59 CDT 2016 Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> net/smscx5xx: use the device tree for mac address

This takes the MAC address for smsc75xx/smsc95xx USB network devices
from a the device tree. This is required to get a usable persistent
address on the popular beagleboard, whose hardware designers
accidentally forgot that an ethernet device really requires an a
MAC address to be functional.

The Raspberry Pi also ships smsc9514 without a serial EEPROM, stores
the MAC address in ROM accessible via VC4 firmware.

The smsc75xx and smsc95xx drivers are just two copies of the
same code, so better fix both.
