On i.MX SoCs the MAC usually is stored in fuses via On-Chip OTP Controller (OCOTP). Should we at least change the message to debug() level instead? As Soeren says there is nothing wrong with the fact that the MAC addresses are retrieved from fuses and there is nothing the user can do about this warning message. IMHO it is causing pure noise. Thanks
