Hello,

I tried booting latest kernel on my CAPK-0100ND board and it seems to have some issues with initializing 
ethernet: octe0 gets zero MAC address although proper MAC address is printed earlier:

Boot Descriptor Ver: 7 -> 1/2  CPU clock: 500MHz  Core Mask: 0
  Board Type: 11  Revision: 0/0
  Mac Address 00.90.FB.26.26.CA (3)



This simple patch fixes the issue:

I do not have enough experience with octeon's boot descriptor so I am not sure if it's a proper fix 
for this issue or  it should be fixed in octeon-sdk sources. Could someone with more expertise 
take a look at it?
