Why do you need a placeholder? U-Boot can just append the
address/property.

Several other dts files have such placeholder
git grep 'mac-addr.*\[00 00 00 00 00 00\]' arch/arm/boot/dts/ | wc -l
26
I can see two scenarios where this patch may be helpful. Another
(simple) boot loading code might be used. The value may also be
customized during build time and used without any support of a
bootloader.
Finding and filling a placeholder would be easier in u-boot too.
And it serves as a reference how to configure a USB device in a dts
file.

Yeah, but if this is cargo cult, then it is not a good reason. First of all,
git grep '[^-]mac-addr.*\[.*00 00 00 00 00 00.*\]' arch/arm/boot/dts/
gives just seven boards. Not a big number to make a standard. :)
The meaning of mac-address, I think, is not a placeholder, but:
"should be used in cases where the MAC address assigned to the device
by the boot program is different from the local-mac-address property."
I think you actually wanted a local-mac-address and the majority of
DTSes use it. Not mac-address.

OK, good point. However other bootloader still has to adhere to the DT
specification and the bindings.

Yes, with an overlay. You do not need a placeholder for this and
actually having a placeholder instead of using overlays is the wrong
approach for customization of boots/builds.
> Finding and filling a placeholder would be easier in u-boot too.
U-Boot already has the code for updating mac-address or
local-mac-address so how is it easier for him? You mean that it cannot
find an ethernet node here?
> And it serves as a reference how to configure a USB device in a dts
Great places for references are examples in bindings.

Indeed that makes sense. I am fixing this.

Still, not every bootloading scenario allows for using overlays.
Applying an overlay to change the MAC address after boot makes little
sense since you can simply
ip link set address 00:01:02:03:04:05 dev eth0

I didn't know that. Point for you.

Not so much IMHO because they are not strictly related to real
hardware you can examine and see the connection between DT and the
hardware.

Thanks for this patch, can you share some example on how to set the
mac address via u-boot bootargs
also can you update this patch for exynos5422-odroidxu3-lite.dts and
exynos4412-odroidu3.dts.

A little bit hacky script to set permanent board unique MAC address:
# setexp.b u0 *0x10000014; setexp.b u1 *0x10000015; setexp.b u2
*0x10000016; setexp.b u3 *0x10000017; setenv ethaddr
0:0:${u0}:${u1}:${u2}:${u3}; setenv usbethaddr ${ethaddr};
Then if there is proper ethernet0 alias set, u-boot will then
automatically save the configured MAC address to the device tree. I've
just check this on recent u-boot v2020.10 and Odroid U3 board.
Lukasz will send updated patch soon (with proper alias entry).
If you want to hack setting MAC address manually, this will work with
the current patch:
# setexp.b u0 *0x10000014; setexp.b u1 *0x10000015; setexp.b u2
*0x10000016; setexp.b u3 *0x10000017; fdt addr ${fdtaddr}; fdt set
/soc/usb@12110000/hub@1/usbether@1 local-mac-address [ 0 0 ${u0} ${u1}
${u2} ${u3} ]
> also can you update this patch for exynos5422-odroidxu3-lite.dts and

Also odroid-x2 and odroid-xu. Lukasz will take care of them.

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.
