[U-Boot] *preferred* place in u-boot to tweak device tree?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  a while back, i asked about the best way to have u-boot extract the
MAC address from a well-known address in flash, and add it to the
device tree to pass to the kernel; discussion was here:

 http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2016-May/255856.html

i notice that another option for tweaking the MAC address that is
popular is to add that code to a board's misc_init_r(). so both ways
work just fine, but i'm assuming that the *proper* place to do it is
in ft_board_setup(), since the routine image_setup_libfdt() pretty
much handles everything, and all that's left to do is extend
ft_board_setup() to set the env variable:

eth_setenv_enetaddr("ethaddr", <physical addr of 6-byte MAC address>);

is that what you'd call "best practice"?
