While I appreciate your effort in making the bindings up to date and
consistent, this does really scale well and is an error prone exercise,
how about consolidating all MAC address related properties into the
ethernet.txt document like you just did and update all bindings to
indicate something along the lines of:

For all other standard Ethernet related properties, please refer to
ethernet.txt or something like that?
