Yes, I2C is generally working and should make a difference in Linux kernel 
booting.

It seems that your bootwrapper is somehow not copying the correct MAC address 
to the device-tree. Not sure what's going wrong here. We usually don't use 
the bootwrapper but boot the uImage directly from U-Boot on all 4xx systems.

You might want to debug the bootwrapper code, if possible drop the bootwrapper 
and use the uImage with a newer, device-tree enabled U-Boot version.

Best regards,
Stefan
