a quick search of the u-boot source reveals common/fdt_support.c:477:

                do_fixup_by_path(fdt, path, "local-mac-address",
                                &mac_addr, 6, 1);

which is indeed called from bootm if u-boot is compiled with OF_LIBFDT.

I'll test this when I work on the mv643xx_eth DT binding series.

thx,

Jason.
