In the eeprom node:

    mac_address: mac-address@fa {
            reg = <0xfa 0x6>;
    };

If you don't set it to read only, then you could rewrite the lower
portion. Writes to the upper portion would be ignored.

New regex: "^microchip,24aa025?e(48|64)$"


All that was what I had around in my tree.
