Something like this:
Subject: [PATCH net-next] sky2: use random address if EEPROM is bad
On some embedded systems the EEPROM does not contain a valid MAC address.
In that case it is better to fallback to a generated mac address and
let init scripts fix the value later.

For designs where EEPROMs are not connected to PCI Yukon2
chips we need to get the MAC address from the firmware.
Add a module parameter called 'mac_address' for this. It
will be used if no DT node can be found and the B2_MAC
register holds an invalid value.
