Hi,

thanks a lot for your reply.

I'm not sure, if it's possible to change it in RPI FDT file,
but I will give a try:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=143011

The MAC address isn't stored anywhere. It is generated from a
combination of the MAC range (b8:27:eb) and the last three bytes of the
serial number.

Best regards,
