Thanks for your inputs :) 8)

After enable CONFIG_MESON_MX_EFUSE and added the alias

On Odroid C1+

0000200

as per my understating on 3.10.x the mac address is also set in the u-boot env.

odroidc#printenv ethaddr
ethaddr=00:1e:06:10:dc:ad

Which is equal to above nvmem setting above.

* But sill I am getting new mac address on every reboot. :p *

Odroid C2:
I could clearly observe the same.

How can we read the mac address from given offset in nvmem.

Yes thanks for the inputs.

I see c85efcc60a892210aa10688d5de1f997d5cad799 ("ARM: davinci:
da830-evm: use cell nvmem lookup for mac address")
I do not know what this changes will help get the mac address from nvmem region.

If some body could share some inputs it will be better for me to debug.
