I've not sure that this ethaddr hack/workaround should be added to
mainline uboot. Some other exynos based board have proper MAC address
stored in EEPROM (for example Odroid XU4/HC1). I would leave it for the
users to add it manually if it is really needed for now.

You need to use proper env for setting fdt address (the "fdt addr
${fdtaddr}" command). For some versions it was ${fdt_addr}, the other
used ${fdtaddr}. Please check which one is used for loading dtb and
adjust the script.
