Eth1 gets random mac address

NXP LX2160
1

We’re using serdes1 = 14 (so having 100GE.1 in addition to the primary network interface).

we’ve added dpmac1 in addition to the existing dpmac17 inside u-boot’s fsl-lx2160a-cex7.dts:

&dpmac1 {
	status = "okay";
	phy-connection-type = "xgmii";
};

&dpmac17 {
	status = "okay";
	phy-handle = <&rgmii_phy1>;
	phy-connection-type = "rgmii-id";
};

U-boot boot logs seems promising:

Net: eth0: DPMAC1@xgmii, eth1: DPMAC17@rgmii-id [PRIME]

We’ve added a bunch of NIC entries to the EEPROM’s TLV:

# tlv_parser -b 3 -a 0x57
EEPROM Contents:
        Product Name: LX2160A_CEX7
        MAC Address base: fa:00:e7:00:ff:f8
        MAC Size: 9
        Manufacturer Country: IL
        Vendor Name: Solidrun
        CRC32: 70 32 9d 90

eth0 gets the 2nd NIC address as expected:

# ip a
4: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether fa:00:e7:00:ff:f9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

but when we add eth1 we see it has a random mac address:

# ip a
4: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether fa:00:e7:00:ff:f9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

any idea how to control the mac address of that eth1?
