Usually, it could be stored in reserved1.

Bellow is how to burn mac address to reserved1 and read it.

First, enter maskrom and issue fllowing command to burn mac adress.

printf '\xde\xad\xbe\xef\xef\xee' > mac.bin
build/flash_tool.sh -p reserved1 -c rk3288 -i mac.bin

Then, add ethadder-set fucntion to u-boot board file, it will read mac address from reserved1.

#include <mmc.h>

int rk_board_late_init(void)
{
  u8 ethaddr[1024];

  // 1 for sd-card
  struct mmc *mmc = find_mmc_device(0);
  struct blk_desc *desc = mmc_get_blk_desc(mmc);
  unsigned long blk_start = 8064;
  unsigned long blk_cnt = 1;

  int d = blk_dread(desc, blk_start, blk_cnt, ethaddr);

  eth_setenv_enetaddr("ethaddr", ethaddr);

  return 0;
}
