Subject: Fwd: DA850-evm MAC Address is random

The davinvi_emac MAC address seems to attempt a call to
ti_cm_get_macid in cpsw-common.c but it returns the message
'davinci_emac davinci_emac.1: incompatible machine/device type for
reading mac address ' and then generates a random MAC address.

The function appears to lookup varions boards using
'of_machine_is_compaible' and supports dm8148, am33xx, am3517, dm816,
am4372 and dra7.  I don't see the ti,davinci-dm6467-emac which is
what's shown in the da850 device tree.

Is there a patch somewhere for supporting the da850-evm?

If not, is there a way to pass the MAC address from U-Boot to the
driver so it doesn't generate a random MAC?
