.title = "mac", //for the main network interface
.id = EFUSE_MAC_ID,
.offset = 436,
.enc_len = 6,
.data_len = 6,

offset for mac which is in dec *436* is equal to hex *0x1b4* which I
am using for testing now.

I am changing this offset setting so that I get consistence result out of it.
I will also check with armbina image and see if I can find some thing usefull.

Thanks for your valuable inputs once again :)
