LX2160A DPAA2 mode mac address is random

[baimahe]

Uboot has already configured the environment variables ethaddr and children's and addr, but what is obtained in the kernel is a random MAC address

Hello, exact same issue on a board with ls1088 SoC

setting eth1addr.. eth6addr in uboot prior to boot does not change anything. uboot uses the variable ethaddr to set the mac, but in linux the mac is set to random. 

Is there a fix for this issue?
