Hi Tianhao,
> Apple M1 Mac minis (2020) with 10GE NICs do not have MAC address in the > card, but instead need to obtain MAC addresses from the device tree. In > this case the hardware will report an invalid MAC. > > Currently atlantic driver does not query the DT for MAC address and will > randomly assign a MAC if the NIC doesn't have a permanent MAC burnt in. > This patch causes the driver to perfer a valid MAC address from OF (if > present) over HW self-reported MAC and only fall back to a random MAC > address when neither of them is valid. > > Signed-off-by: Tianhao Chai <cth451@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Igor Russkikh <irusskikh@marvell.com>
