The videocore part of the raspberry pi that boots the system and runs the mailbox interface and other functions afterwards knows about a MAC address that appears to be derived from a portion of a unique serial number along with the raspberry pi foundation oui
B827EB (base 16) Raspberry Pi Foundation It modifies the device tree when booting to store the MAC address in /axi/usb/hub/ethernet/mac-address so fetch and use that value for the integrated smsc(4) Ethernet. A different smsc adapter plugged into one of the USB ports probes later and skips this path.
