[PATCH] pcnet32: use MAC address from prom also on powerpc
The CSR contains garbage after a coldboot on RS/6000. One some systems (like my 44p 270) the MAC address is all FF, on others (like my B50) it is ff:ff:ff:fd:ff:6b. It can eventually be fixed by loading pcnet32, set the interface into the UP state, rmmod pcnet32 and load it again. But this worked only on the 270. Only netbooting after a cold start provides the correct MAC address via prom and CSR. This makes it very unreliable. I dont know why the MAC is stored in two different places. Remove the special case for powerpc, which was added in early 2.4 development.
