r8169: revert "r8169: read MAC address from EEPROM on init (2nd attempt)"
It fails on the following systems: - RTL8169sc/8110sc (XID 18000000) reported by Tim Durack <tdurack@gmail.com> (x86) - RTL8169sb/8110sb (XID 10000000) reported by Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@it.uu.se> (ARM) The patch appeared to work on x86 for the following systems: RTL8169sb/8110sb 10000000 PCI (EXT) RTL8110s 04000000 PCI (EXT) RTL8102e 24a00000 PCI-E (LOM) RTL8168c/8111c 3c2000c0 PCI-E (LOM) RTL8168b/8111b 38000000 PCI-E (LOM) RTL8168b/8111b 38000000 PCI-E (EXT) The patch exposes two problems: 1) while not completely wrong, mac addresses are not read correctly from the EEPROM 2) the MAC address registers are not correctly set Signed-off-by: Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> Tested-by: Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@it.uu.se> Signed-off-by: David S.
