A little bit hacky script to set permanent board unique MAC address:

# setexp.b u0 *0x10000014; setexp.b u1 *0x10000015; setexp.b u2 
*0x10000016; setexp.b u3 *0x10000017; setenv ethaddr 
0:0:${u0}:${u1}:${u2}:${u3}; setenv usbethaddr ${ethaddr};

Then if there is proper ethernet0 alias set, u-boot will then 
automatically save the configured MAC address to the device tree. I've 
just check this on recent u-boot v2020.10 and Odroid U3 board.

Lukasz will send updated patch soon (with proper alias entry).

If you want to hack setting MAC address manually, this will work with 
the current patch:

# setexp.b u0 *0x10000014; setexp.b u1 *0x10000015; setexp.b u2 
*0x10000016; setexp.b u3 *0x10000017; fdt addr ${fdtaddr}; fdt set 
/soc/usb at 12110000/hub at 1/usbether at 1 local-mac-address [ 0 0 ${u0} ${u1} 
${u2} ${u3} ]

Also odroid-x2 and odroid-xu. Lukasz will take care of them.
