variable. If set to "true" OF_getetheraddr() will now return the unique
MAC address stored in the "local-mac-address" property of the device's
OFW node if present and the host address/system default MAC address if
the node doesn't doesn't have such a property. If set to "false" the
host address will be returned for all devices like before this change.
This brings the behaviour of device drivers for NICs with OFW support/
FCode, i.e. dc(4) for on-board DM9102A on Sun machines, gem(4) and hme(4),
regarding "local-mac-address?" in line with NetBSD and Solaris.
The man pages of the respective drivers will be updated separately to
reflect this change.
- Remove OF_getetheraddr2() which was used as a stopgap in dc(4). Its
functionality is now part of OF_getetheraddr().
MAC address in the EEPROM, and we need to get it from OpenFirmware.
This isn't very pretty but time is lacking to do this in a better
way this near 5.2-RELEASE. This is a RELENG_5_2 candidate.

address of the device identified by its phandle_t by traversing OFW's
device tree. The space and address returned by this function can
subsequently be passed to sparc64_fake_bustag() to construct a valid
tag and handle for use by the newbus I/O functions.
Use of this function is expected to be limited to pre-newbus access to
devices, such as consoles and keyboards.
