It's not very practical for us as our chips don't have internal EEPROM
and nvs file is also bad, as it is SD card bound. We have all our
production data in usual EEPROM, so that I can fetch MACs from there
and put them into loaded DTB. This way Linux has all the needed data
and I don't need special files/scripts in order to assign MACs.
