r8169: revert "r8169: read MAC address from EEPROM on init (2nd attempt)"
It fails on the following systems:
- RTL8169sc/8110sc (XID 18000000)
reported by Tim Durack <tdurack@gmail.com> (x86)
- RTL8169sb/8110sb (XID 10000000)
reported by Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@it.uu.se> (ARM)
The patch appeared to work on x86 for the following systems:
RTL8169sb/8110sb 10000000 PCI (EXT)
RTL8110s 04000000 PCI (EXT)
RTL8102e 24a00000 PCI-E (LOM)
RTL8168c/8111c 3c2000c0 PCI-E (LOM)
RTL8168b/8111b 38000000 PCI-E (LOM)
RTL8168b/8111b 38000000 PCI-E (EXT)
The patch exposes two problems:
1) while not completely wrong, mac addresses are not read correctly
from the EEPROM
2) the MAC address registers are not correctly set
