    tg3: optionally use eth_platform_get_mac_address() to get mac address · cddaf02b

    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];
    		};
    	};
    };
