[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH 1/2] ath79: add support for Netgear WNDR4300

Okay, so for &wmac that would mean it should correctly read the address from calibration data even if you do not specify it.
Thus, you should be able to remove the mtd-mac-address for wmac and still have the correct MAC address.

For 0x5006 this is more interesting, as it implies that the vendor puts a "wrong" MAC address into the calibration data. However, since you have verified it, it seems appropriate to overwrite the address in calibration with mtd-mac-address in this case.

Note that if you remove the mtd-mac-address for wmac, you will need to change the label-mac-device alias to &eth0 then.

Best

Adrian
