Umm should we not use local-mac-address and mac-address (and
address-bits) as in section 3.7.4 in 1275-1994?

So no one chimed in on this.  Clearly, 1275 states that it's supposed  
to be local-mac-address or mac-address.  We use "address".  But I'm  
pretty sure we copied our ethernet node from somewhere else, so which  
one should it be?

Well I'm biased and say we shouldn't reinvent the wheel with dtc if we
don't need to.  I've sent Jon a patch to start validating this for dtc
and am waiting feedback before I add additional device_types. So we
should have local-mac-address be preassiged hwaddr and mac-address last
used. For some setups this would be the same persistently, but I can
envisage some non OF setups populating mac-address from the card.
