tg3: optionally use eth_platform_get_mac_address() to get mac address
This function will try to determine the mac address via the devicetree, or via an architecture-specific method (e.g. a PROM on SPARC). The SPARC-specific code in this driver (#ifdef SPARC) did exactly this, and is therefore removed. Note that you can now specify the tg3 mac address via the devicetree, on any platform, not just SPARC: Devicetree example: (see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pci/pci.txt) &pcie { host@0 { #address-cells = <3>; #size-cells = <2>; reg = <0 0 0 0 0>; bcm5778: bcm5778@0 { reg = <0 0 0 0 0>; mac-address = [CA 11 AB 1E 10 01]; }; }; }; Signed-off-by: Sven Van Asbroeck <svendev@arcx.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
