sorry, wrong function, will be corrected in next version.

Which other function did you intend?  You already guarded the only
definition whose implementation is guarded.

Personally I don't like config options for something so tiny.  If you
really must guard against including it, use the CONFIG_RANDOM_MACADDR
instead.  I'd prefer to just let the linker exclude it when it's never
referenced.

You should synchronize with Rob Herring who is also trying to add this
eth_setenv_enetaddr_by_index() function.
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/152590/

Also since Rob's patch would use this function all the time, the
CONFIG_SETENV_ENETADDR_BY_INDEX would be removed, right?

Thanks,

That was a mistake. Will be fixed in the next version.

Me, too. But Wolfgang doesn't accept patches which increases the code size for 
other boards.

I don't think it is a good idea to use CONFIG_RANDOM_MACADDR for such a 
generic function, which will (hopefully) be used by others too.

Correct, me if i'm wrong, but the linker can only discard unused sections. But 
there was some discussion on -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections on the 
ML. So maybe theres some light at the end of the tunnel ;)

Hi Rob,

Joe mentioned you have the same patch as me here:
  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/158624/

What is the current status of your patch?

Wolfgang had some comments on my patch:
  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/158354/

Could you incorporate these changes into your patch?

Unfortunately, i don't see a way to add the helper function without meeting 
Wolfgangs requirement not to increase the binary file for other boards. Unless 
gc-sections and function-sections are used on ARM, or adding an CONFIG_XX 
macro to mask the helper on compile time.

I have no idea. It's been in the patch system for a month, gotten no
comments, and delegated to jhersh.

There was a patch series for gc-sections recently...

I don't see a way to meet this impossible requirement either, and I
don't really have the bandwidth right now.

yeah saw that too, but someone mentioned there were problems on arm, iirc.

ok, thanks for the clarification :)
