+Permanent ethernet MAC address
+-------------------------------
+       Prior flashing new U-Boot version (as part of ATF image) it is suggested to backup
+       permanent ethernet MAC address as it is stored only in U-Boot env storage (SPI or eMMC).
+       Some boards like EspressoBin have MAC address printed on sticker. To print current MAC
+       address run:
+
+               # echo $ethaddr
+
+       MAC addresses 00:51:82:11:22:00, 00:51:82:11:22:01, 00:51:82:11:22:02, 00:51:82:11:22:03
+       and F0:AD:4E:03:64:7F are default hardcoded values found in Marvell's and Armbian U-Boot
+       forks and therefore *not* unique. Usage of static hardcoded MAC addresses should be avoided.
+       When original address is lost (e.g. erased by Armbian boot scripts for EspressoBin) it is
+       suggested to generate new random one.
+
+       After flashing new U-Boot version it is suggested to reset U-Boot env variables to default
+       and then set correct permanent ethernet MAC address.
+
+               # env default -a
+               # setenv ethaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
+               # saveenv
+
+       Where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is permanent ethernet MAC address.
+
+       Recent Linux kernel versions use correct permanent ethernet MAC address from U-Boot env as
+       U-Boot will inject it into kernel's device-tree.
