I can add

Fixes: 43456fdfc014 ("arm64: dts: broadcom: Enable RP1 ethernet for Raspberry Pi 5")

(or maybe Florian can when picking up this patch, if a v3 is not

The local-mac-address property is not currently filled by the boot
loader, so it's all 0's. The kernel then assigns a random MAC address.
