Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 15/29] net: split eth_platform_get_mac_address() into
 subroutines

Hi,

I responded to the cover letter, but I'll put some notes here too.

This could just be replaced with device_get_mac_address(). Then you
should be extending either fwnode_get_device_mac_address() or
device_get_mac_addres() in the next patch, not
eth_platform_get_mac_address().
