[PATCH 4 0/4] Add ability to set defaultless network device MAC addresses to deterministic computed locally administered values

2012-07-04 Thread Andy Green
The following series adds some code to generate legal, locally administered MAC addresses from OMAP4 CPU Die ID fuse data, and then adds a helper at net/ethernet taking care of accepting device path / MAC mapping registrations and running a notifier to enforce the requested MAC when the matching ne
