Really? I don't have a board at hand to double check, but the code I read
here says otherwise:
https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/blob/master/board/sunxi/board.c#L791-813
There it checks for up to four ethernet aliases and assigns MAC addresses
to them, using the index in the lowest byte.
So this would change the MAC address of the WiFi adapter.

Am I missing something?

Regardless of the fact that you shouldn't rely on indexes in device names,
wouldn't that be that same, regardless of the order of USB and WiFi?

Cheers,
Andre
