Kirkwood has always had the ability to retrieve the local-mac-address from the hardware (usually this was configured by the bootloader). This is particularly useful when dealing with a legacy non-DT aware bootloader. The "error" message just indicated that the board used an old bootloader and in many cases users can't do anything about this. The message probably should have been pr_info() to inform the user that the kernel has been helpful but rather than than let's remove it entirely to make the kernel less noisy.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
