Hi,
Thank you for your interest in NXP Semiconductor products,
What's the MAC value in u-boot? It's probably being written by other source before.
4.4.6.1 Getting a MAC Address
The MAC address can be set through the kernel command line, kernel device tree DTS file, OCOTP, or MAC registers set by bootloader, such as U-Boot.
You could try to set it as env variable in u-boot.
Regards
