Linux 6.1 does not get ethaddr from u-boot env

Hi,

we've upgraded our build from 5.15 to 6.1 and now the OS does not get the mac address set in uboot environment through a script. If i check the environment i can correctly see the ethaddr set via printenv. Is there something i can do in kernel config or ethernet driver?

Possible that no one cares about this? I'm still on 5.15 because of this issue. Please help

Hi @GCici ,

 

Sorry to come late in this thread. 

For sure ST care about your issue but we would need further information. 

 

Can you update status on your side ? 

 

When you said you change from 5.15 to 6.1 do you means only the kernel or the whole OSTL version including BSP ( TF-A, Uboot, OPTEE) . This is mandatory.

If you may share some logs about the issue it can surely help

Hello Olivier,

i mean the whole OSTL system, so TFA,UBOOT,OPTEE and kernel. which kind of logs do you need? 
I can say ethaddr is correctly set in u-boot environment and it shows correctly when i type printenv. When the system has started  the mac address on eth0 is different from the one set in uboot environment.

Cheers,

GC
