MAC address passing from U-Boot to Linux hjas nothing to do with the PHY used. In 2.4 you're using the bd_info structure to pass this information. Your Linux network driver should pick it up there; in 2.6, you should use the device tree - again, your Linux network driver should know where it can find the MAC addresses.
