This function will try to determine the mac address via the devicetree,
or via an architecture-specific method (e.g. a PROM on SPARC).
The SPARC-specific code in this driver (#ifdef SPARC) did exactly this,
and is therefore removed.
Note that you can now specify the tg3 mac address via the devicetree,
on any platform, not just SPARC:
Devicetree example:
(see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pci/pci.txt)
&pcie {
host@0 {
#address-cells = <3>;
#size-cells = <2>;
reg = <0 0 0 0 0>;
bcm5778: bcm5778@0 {
reg = <0 0 0 0 0>;
mac-address = [CA 11 AB 1E 10 01];
};
};
};

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
