This is a two fold problem:

1. u-boot should configure MAC address correctly for its own use
2. kernel should not have any assumption that the bootloader will help get its MAC address configured correctly through registers, as the IP could be reset and register values could be uncertain.

There should be another patch to fix this incorrect assumption within the kernel.
