Why not per port? This is pretty strange, I think.
Hi Vladimir,

Currently, all ports share the same base mac address (5 first
bytes). The final mac address per port is computed in ocelot_probe_port
by adding the port number as the last byte of the mac_address provided.

Yes, I know that, but that's not my point.
Every switch port should be pretty much compliant with
ethernet-controller.yaml, if it could inherit that it would be even
better. And since mac-address is an ethernet-controller.yaml property,
it is pretty much non-obvious at all that you put the mac-address
property directly under the switch, and manually add 0, 1, 2, 3 etc to it.
My request was to parse the mac-address property of each port. Like
this:

base_mac = random;

for_each_port() {
	err = of_get_mac_address(port_dn, &port_mac);
	if (err)
		port_mac = base_mac + port;
}

+	if (ret)
+		eth_random_addr(ocelot->base_mac);
+
 	ocelot->base_mac[5] &= 0xf0;
 
 	return 0;
