The mac address is board (hw) uniq so no default in the dts, if none present
the kernel will generate one (private class).
If the mac is specifued in the register the kernel re-use it.
This is the job of the booloader to set one. The dts in the kernel will be
used for every Aria not one board in particular
if you keep the mac addres in the dts NACK
