Maybe it should be documented then...?
See
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/net/core/of_net.c#n140

```
int of_get_mac_address(struct device_node *np, u8 *addr)
{
int ret;

if (!np)
return -ENODEV;

ret = of_get_mac_addr(np, "mac-address", addr);
if (!ret)
return 0;

ret = of_get_mac_addr(np, "local-mac-address", addr);
if (!ret)
return 0;

ret = of_get_mac_addr(np, "address", addr);
if (!ret)
return 0;

return of_get_mac_address_nvmem(np, addr);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(of_get_mac_address);
```

I understand, so have a schema to include whenever of_net.c is used to
assign a MAC address, and then use that for ethernet-controller.yaml and
in places such as here.

If you point me to the existing patches I can pick them up and address
whatever needs to be addressed to get them merged.

So just remove the (supposedly deprecated) "address: true" for now and
then create an of_net MAC-address related schema and move things there
after that?
