There is no reason to setup ROM source if read_rom_hwaddr hook doesn't exist or reading mac address fails. It is ending up with confusion about mac address source.
It is nicely visible if you put mac address to DT as local-mac-address = [ff ff ff ff ff ff]; but also save ethaddr to variables setenv -f ethaddr 02:18:31:7e:3e:01 Before this patch U-Boot prints that source is ROM Address in ROM is ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Address in environment is 02:18:31:7e:3e:01 After that source is DT: Address in DT is ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Address in environment is 02:18:31:7e:3e:01 Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <michal.si...@amd.com> --- Changes in v2: - Fix commit message net/eth-uclass.c | 10 +++++++--- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/eth-uclass.c b/net/eth-uclass.c index c393600fabcd..e40b869e1c31 100644 --- a/net/eth-uclass.c +++ b/net/eth-uclass.c @@ -588,10 +588,14 @@ static int eth_post_probe(struct udevice *dev) /* Check if the device has a valid MAC address in device tree */ if (!eth_dev_get_mac_address(dev, pdata->enetaddr) || !is_valid_ethaddr(pdata->enetaddr)) { - source = "ROM"; /* Check if the device has a MAC address in ROM */ - if (eth_get_ops(dev)->read_rom_hwaddr) - eth_get_ops(dev)->read_rom_hwaddr(dev); + if (eth_get_ops(dev)->read_rom_hwaddr) { + int ret; + + ret = eth_get_ops(dev)->read_rom_hwaddr(dev); + if (!ret) + source = "ROM"; + } } eth_env_get_enetaddr_by_index("eth", dev_seq(dev), env_enetaddr); -- 2.36.1
