Which patch do you mean? The local-mac-address workaround will only be
available for DT mv643xx_eth because it uses the DT node to store the
MAC.

Anyway, I found the bit that caused the other issue. It is the
Clk125_Bypass_En bit in PORT_SERIAL_CONTROL1 register. What bothers me
about it is:
- Only Dove and Kirkwood have the bit, MV78x00 doesn't have it, Orion5x
   doesn't have the register at all. With ppc mv64x60 I can only guess,
   but think it is like in Orion5x.
- Reset value of that bit should be 0, but after gating clock on
   Kirkwood it is set to 1 causing wrong port clock to be selected.
   Also Thomas Petazzoni confirmed that it is set after reset so
   either FS is wrong about it or BootROM messes with it.
- Kirkwood and Dove FS tell me that port link must be down when you
   change the bit.

As I can't be sure about how mv643xx_eth will behave on other platforms
except Kirkwood and Dove when writing that register, I tend to force
that bit to zero in the driver but only for those two by #ifdefs.
