This would need to be common. There's been some attempts around how to 
support a base MAC address with a transform per instance. So far it's 
not clear that something in DT works for everyone. Until there's 
something common (if ever), you need platform specific code somewhere to 
handle this. The nvmem binding has had some extensions to support that.
