ARM/ACPI machines should utilize self describing hardware when possible. The MAC address on the BCMGENET can be read from the adapter if a full featured firmware has already programmed it. Lets try using the address already programmed, if it appears to be valid. It should be noted that while we move the macaddr logic below the clock and power logic in the driver, none of that code will ever be active in an ACPI environment as the device will be attached to the acpi power domain, and brought to full power with all clocks enabled immediately before the device probe routine is called. One side effect of the above tweak is that while its now possible to read the MAC address via _DSD properties, it should be avoided.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
