This chiefly depends on whether you're using an old u-boot that
doesn't know about the device tree, or a new u-boot which itself
supplies a device tree to the kernel.
If the old u-boot, you'll need to write a bootwrapper for your
platform which reads the bd_t and pokes the right mac addresses into
the device tree.
If the new u-boot, u-boot itself should put the address into the
device tree. If it's not, why it's not is a u-boot question rather
than a device tree question.
