ok I just wanted to clear myself.. I do not have a dedicated

Which means no MAC generation in code...
Please correct me if my understanding wrong...
This is correct, except for the nitpick that nobody should ever use a truly random MAC address - if no valid MAC address is available, one should at least make sure to pick one of the locally administered Ethernet address pool (2nd LSB in the most significant byte of the address must be set).
Best regards,

Dear Wolfgang,
Thank you so much for clarification. I tested u-boot on board with no random MAC and its working perfectly once user set it. Thanks again...
