Subject: [PATCH net v2 0/4] net: mvpp2: fix the mac address retrieval logic

Hi all,

The MAC address retrieval logic was broken and when using the PPv2
driver on PPv2.2 engines I ended up using the same mac address on all
ports. This series of patches fixes this, and also tackle a possible bug
when defining the mac address in the device tree.

Patch 1/4 can be applied to relevant stable trees (4.12+).

The series applies on net/master (9b4e946ce14e).

Thanks!
Antoine

Since v1:
  - Rebased onto net (was on net-next).

Antoine Tenart (4):
  net: mvpp2: fix the mac address used when using PPv2.2
  net: mvpp2: move the mac retrieval/copy logic into its own function
  net: mvpp2: fix use of the random mac address for PPv2.2
  net: mvpp2: fallback using h/w and random mac if the dt one isn't
    valid
