+ * @eth_idx:	number of Ethernet interface in /aliases node
+ * @mac_addr:	pointer to 6 byte MAC address to store
+ *
+ * Use the generic local-mac-address property in a network device DT node
+ * to define the MAC address this device should be using. Many platform
+ * network devices lack device-specific non-volatile storage to hold this
+ * address, and leave it up to firmware to find and store a unique MAC
+ * address in the DT.
+ * The MAC address could be read from some board or firmware defined storage,
+ * or could be derived from some other unique property like a serial number.
+ *
+ * Return: 0 on success, a negative libfdt error value otherwise.
