The MAC for both PR1 and BR4 Appliance boards is only kept in the u-boot 
environment
(variable 'ethaddr')

Thank you.
Opps indeed I forgot to remove the NET_MULTI, sorry.

The patch is OK for me. With or without predefined static or random value 
for 'ethaddr' from the u-boot code.
I tend towards the random generation (as it is done for bf537-stamp) as this 
way some tests can be done before entering the final MAC.
In addition the MAC is not known before the enclosure labeling process.
