I was reading the DT bindings for Ethernet devices, as well as the IEEE 1275 
bindings for "network" devices.  It looks to me like "mac-address" is meant to 
take precedence over "local-mac-address".

Specifically, "mac-address" is described by IEEE 1275 as "the last network 
address used", and the DT bindings state that it's the address that would have 
been used by the boot loader and that it should be used if it is present and 
different from the "local-mac-address" value.
