U-boot config options used in fec_mxc.c
CONFIG_FEC_MXC
- Selects fec_mxc.c to be compiled into u-boot.
+ Selects fec_mxc.c to be compiled into u-boot. Can read out the
+ ethaddr from the SoC eFuses (see below).
CONFIG_MII
Must be defined if CONFIG_FEC_MXC is defined.
CONFIG_FEC_MXC_PHYADDR
Optional, selects the exact phy address that should be connected
and function fecmxc_initialize will try to initialize it.

+
+Reading the ethaddr from the SoC eFuses:
+if CONFIG_FEC_MXC is defined and the U-Boot environment does not contain the
+ethaddr variable, then its value gets read from the corresponding eFuses in
+the SoC. See the README files of the specific SoC for details.
2.1 MAC Address: It is stored in the words 9 to 14 of fuse bank 1, using the
natural MAC byte order (i.e. MSB first).
+
+ This is an example how to program an example MAC address 01:23:45:67:89:ab
+ into the eFuses. Assure that the programming voltage is available and then
+ execute:
+
+ => fuse prog -y 1 9 01 23 45 67 89 ab
+
+ After programming a MAC address, consider locking the MAC fuses. This is
+ done by programming the MAC_ADDR_LOCK fuse, which is bit 4 of word 0 in
+ bank 1:
+
+ => fuse prog -y 1 0 10
