Broadcom's NVRAM contains MACs for Ethernet interfaces. Those MACs are usually base addresses that are also used for calculating other MACs. For example if a router vendor decided to use gmac0 it most likely programmed NVRAM of each unit with a proper "et0macaddr" value. That is a base. Ethernet interface is usually connected to switch port. Switch usually includes few LAN ports and a WAN port. MAC of WAN port gets calculated as relative address to the interface one. Offset varies depending on device model. Wireless MACs may also need to be calculated using relevant offsets. To support all those scenarios let MAC NVMEM cells be referenced with an index specifying MAC offset. Disallow additionalProperties while at it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
