This issue has been created to track the problem with SBCs that use RK3588 SoCs. The issue lies in Linux unable to read the MAC address on the SoC. At the moment, I have two such SBCs:

Radxa Rock 5 Model B (rk3588)
Xunlong Orange Pi 5 (rk3588s)

The problem on Rock 5B is that it does not use the SoC PHY and has a PCIe NIC instead, but no PCIe support merged (in u-boot 2023.10) yet.
The problem on Orange Pi 5 is that SoC's PHY's MAC can't be read. Needs more digging why, since sudo dmesg | grep fe1c0000.ethernet doesn't show anything like "can't read MAC address, setting random one".
