I don't have documentation covering the efuse content but only got this
information on an informal way:

https://forum.banana-pi.org/t/bpi-r3-serial-number/14556/10?u=dangowrt

Either name is fine with me, I thought of it as "serial number", but
obviously "soc-uuid" works fine, too.
I can change it to that and send v2 tonight.
