The location 0x28 in factory partition is the common one used for
ethernet address on this architecture. Despite, it contains the label
MAC address for the devices at hand.
Consequently, this patch moves 0x28 to the ðernet node in DTS files
(setting the WAN MAC address there) and sets up the lan_mac from 0x22
in 02_network. As a benefit, this allows to use label-mac-device in
DTS instead of ucidef_set_label_macaddr.

Installation:
Update using ASUS Firmware Restoration Tool:
1. Download the ASUS Firmware Restoration Tool but don't open it yet
2. Unplug your computer from the router
3. Put the router into Rescue Mode by: turning the power off, using a pin
to press and hold the reset button, then turning the router back on while
keeping the reset button pressed for ~5 secs until the power LED starts
flashing slowly (which indicates the router has entered Rescue Mode)
4. Important (if you don't do this next step the Asus Firmware
Restoration Tool will wrongly assume that the router is not in Rescue Mode
and will refuse to flash it): go to the Windows Control Panel and
temporarily disable ALL other network adapters except the one you will use
to connect your computer to the router
5. For the single adapter you left enabled, temporarily give it the
static IP 192.168.1.10 and the subnet mask 255.255.255.0
6. Connect a LAN cable between your computer (make sure to use the
Ethernet port of the adapter you've just set up) and port 1 of the router
(not the router's WAN port)
7. Rename sysupgrade.bin to factory.trx
8. Open the Asus Firmware Restoration Tool, locate factory.trx and click
upload (if Windows shows a compatibility prompt, confirm that the tool worked fine)
9. Flashing and reboot is finished when the power LED stops blinking and
stays on
MAC assignment based on vendor firmware:
2g 0x4 label
5g 0x8004 label +4
lan 0x22 label +4
wan 0x28 label

[rebased due to DTSI patch, minor commit message adjustments, fix
label MAC address (lan->wan), do spi frequency increase separately]
