I've just tried to reword what was already there, anyway, did I understood
your remark properly, would this be more appropriate?

The MAC address will be determined using the optional properties defined in
ethernet.txt and only if efuse-mac is set to 0. If any of the optional MAC
address properties are not present, then the driver will use random MAC
address.

Thanks!
