Hi Flavio

u-boot should be able to write the MAC address in the correct part of
device tree. Boards have been doing this a long time.

Module parameters are considered bad. You should only do it if you
have no other option. Here you do have another options, so it is going
to be a hard sell getting David to access your patch.

You will have more success by adding a call to
eth_platform_get_mac_address() to the e1000e driver.
