If different targets boards are connected on the network then every board will have the same MAC address as the .dtb file is the same. How to go about this problem?
Depends on your setup: normally the real MAC is stored on some onboard configuration space (eeprom or flash). Afterwards there are multiple ways you could work aroun the problem: most elegant: make your bootloader replace the fake MAC with the real one within the dtb. Most simple one: have a startup script that reads the real MAC and does the ifconfig magic.
