U-Boot has always updated the MAC address properties before booting 
Linux.  Therefore, you must be talking about a non-U-Boot scenerio.  If 
so, then I don't know what change I could make that would break this. 
If the [local-]mac-address property is in the DTS, then DTC will compile 
it and include it in the DTB.  That won't change.
