Can you use simple_strntoull() to parse the address into a u64 instead?

Nice idea. Its current replacement seems to be kstrtoull(). I'll have to do
it byte by byte, right? Or what do you have in mind with 64bit unsigned?

+static int __init dns323_read_mac_addr(u8 *addr)
+{
+ int i;
+ char *mac_page;
+
+ /* MAC address is stored as a regular ol' string in /dev/mtdblock4
+ * (0x007d0000-0x00800000) starting at offset 196480 (0x2ff80).
+ */
+ mac_page = ioremap(DNS323_NOR_BOOT_BASE + 0x7d0000 + 196480, 1024);
+ if (!mac_page)
+ return -ENOMEM;

It would be nicer to use of_iomap() on the nor device than a
hardcoded physical address here, at least if that doesn't add
too much extra complexity.


I'll look into this.
