[Ltib] Ltib - How to make the MAC address in EEPROM works with kernel 2.6.34 just like kernel 2.6.27?

[Li Yuan-Lung]

Dear NXP guys,

As a new issue, I create a new topic for this problem.

I have knew the facts as below:

1. The MAC address was read from EEPROM in kernel 2.6.27. 

2. The MAC address was passed by u-boot through kernel parameter in kernel 2.6.34. 

Below is my question:

1) Why the mechanism chaged? Is there any consideration or limitation to make kernel 2.6.34 with EEPROM?

2) Could I make the mechanism in 2.6.34 become the same with kernel 2.6.27? How?
