Hello,
I tried booting latest kernel on my CAPK-0100ND board and it seems to have some issues with initializing
ethernet: octe0 gets zero MAC address although proper MAC address is printed earlier:
Boot Descriptor Ver: 7 -> 1/2 CPU clock: 500MHz Core Mask: 0
Board Type: 11 Revision: 0/0
Mac Address 00.90.FB.26.26.CA (3)
This simple patch fixes the issue:

I do not have enough experience with octeon's boot descriptor so I am not sure if it's a proper fix
for this issue or it should be fixed in octeon-sdk sources. Could someone with more expertise
take a look at it?
