board/boundarydevices: add mac parameter for BD-SDMAC in bootscript
PATCH 1/1 board/boundarydevices: add mac parameter for BD-SDMAC in bootscript
Our new WiFi 802.11ac BT4.1 module (BD-SDMAC [1]) driver allows to override the wlan MAC address using a module parameter.
Since its driver is now included in our external repository [2], update the bootscript so it sets the parameter for that driver too.
As a FYI, $wlmac is based on Ethernet MAC address located in fuses.

Applied to master, thanks. However, I'm wondering why all this BD-SDMAC WiFi support packages remain out of tree in your BR2_EXTERNAL. Would it make sense to upstream them in Buildroot ?
Best regards,
Thomas

My main issue is that we've been asked, for dubious reasons, to hide the firmware files on a private git repo which requires to register to our website to get access to.
Moreover this driver is based on qcacld-2.0 repository [1] whose build breaks easily depending on the kernel you build against.
Finally it has only been tested on BD-SDMAC module so I'm not sure that many people are interested (except for our customers).
Let me know your thoughts.
Regards,
Gary
