+Subject: [PATCH] net: bgmac-platform: handle mac-address deferral
+
+This patch is a replication of Christian Lamparter's "net: bgmac-bcma:
+handle deferred probe error due to mac-address" patch for the
+bgmac-platform driver [1].
+
+As is the case with the bgmac-bcma driver, this change is to cover the
+scenario where the MAC address cannot yet be discovered due to reliance
+on an nvmem provider which is yet to be instantiated, resulting in a
+random address being assigned that has to be manually overridden.
