Personally, I'd prefer using Heikos approach until Arm Linux has moved
to device trees. I know it's a deviation from how it's supposed to
work, but it also solves a real problem without introducing kludges
elsewhere.

I think most people (myself included) would just "solve" the problem by
carrying a private patch to setup the MAC address in U-boot anyway.
