You can create the interface with a given mac address

# iw phy phy0 interface add wlp0s4u1 type managed addr 00:11:22:33:44:55
# iw dev
phy#0
        Interface wlp0s4u1
                ifindex 9
                wdev 0x2
                addr 00:11:22:33:44:55
                type managed
                txpower 3.00 dBm

# ip link show dev wlp0s4u1
9: wlp0s4u1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000
