Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2019 15:46:45 +1300 From: Chris Packham <chris.packham@...iedtelesis.co.nz> To: andrew@...n.ch, jason@...edaemon.net, gregory.clement@...tlin.com Cc: linux-arm-kernel@...ts.infradead.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Chris Packham <chris.packham@...iedtelesis.co.nz>, Sebastian Hesselbarth <sebastian.hesselbarth@...il.com>, Russell King <linux@...linux.org.uk> Subject: [PATCH] ARM: mvebu: kirkwood: remove error message when retrieving mac address Kirkwood has always had the ability to retrieve the local-mac-address from the hardware (usually this was configured by the bootloader). This is particularly useful when dealing with a legacy non-DT aware bootloader. The "error" message just indicated that the board used an old bootloader and in many cases users can't do anything about this. The message probably should have been pr_info() to inform the user that the kernel has been helpful but rather than than let's remove it entirely to make the kernel less noisy.
