From: Ahmad Fatoum <[email protected]>

Especially during development, devices often lack a MAC address. While a
MAC address can be easily added to the environment:

  nv dev.eth0.ethaddr="aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff"

It's easily lost when flashing complete new images, e.g. from CI.
Make the development experience neater by deriving a stable MAC address
if possible.
