It is an optional property used by arc-emac (the core driver), if it

Problem being that with this property two radxa rock boards connected
on the same local network might have the same mac address.

In this case it would be probably better to remove this property. What
do you think ?
It would typically be filled in by the boot loader, and be all-zeroes
in the kernel-supplied dts file. I don't see a point in hardcoding
a particular MAC address in the dts file, since that won't work
unless it's the only device of that type in the network segment.
