The netdev maintainers do not want to handle MAC address passing at this driver level, so this patch will not go upstream. They propose instead to use already existing network APIs: for example, by doing a MAC address reconfiguration in the initramfs.
For short term pandaboard support, I propose to use this patch. We can remove it when we implement this MAC address change within initramfs.
