I could be mistaken, but unfortunately at this point it does not look like there is a
mechanism to override the MAC address with the kernel command line.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
U-boot does not use this mechanism to set the MAC address.
However...
The latest is that I have found a patch that addresses this problem, although it does not apply without errors.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1966481/
So now I have a series of follow up questions:
Since the patch does not show up, even in the latest kernel version, how do I check out its status, etc? Why has it not been applied upstream? How does one find this out?
Can someone respond?
Thanks, Brian
