Yes.
I could be wrong, but I don't expect anything to break if we did that. The current static address comes from eth_random_addr() in any case, so the end result as seen from the mini drivers should be identical. The difference will be seen in userspace and surrounding equipment, And those should be for the better.
In theory somebody might have a setup with multiple devices on the same bus and using them getting the same MAC for seamless fallover. Regards Oliver
