Hi Oliver --

It's really just a serial number. The Allwinner A20 datasheet refers to it as a root key, later ones such as A83T refer to it as chip ID. U-Boot uses the same process to generate MAC addresses for all Allwinner boards.

Cheers,
Jared

Log:
  Use the root key in the Security ID EFUSE (when valid) to generate a
  MAC address instead of creating a random one each boot.

Could you please describe a little more about this root key? What is
it? What's the main purpose? Is is a crypto root key?
