No need to call it, its already hooked up by default.

Make sure you have those config options (linked in my previous email)
setup correctly for your target, as well as having the bitstream
loaded and it should setup the mac address when u-boot probes the
ethernet device.

FSBL is supported by Xilinx, you can spam their support if you have issues :).
