Rob,

Sorry about that. At the time the dt was submitted there were still so
many dt warnings it wasn't very clear what was a legitimate issue and
the PCI bindings are not that easy to understand.

So as Fabio has tried to fix this with a patch that landed in
linux-next this patch won't apply. I'll submit one that covers your
changes.

It's always been unfortunate to have to have this level of detail in a
device-tree just to allow boot firmware to populate the mac address of
a PCI ethernet device.

Best Regards,

Tim
