I assume you are referring to the I2C EEPROM attached via the PL? You
will need to at least connect this to the EMIO I2C of the PS to access
it.

U-Boot can already read and setup the MAC from an I2C device, no need
to deal with FSBL.

The config to point at the I2C device is already configured by default
for the Zybo.

The code that does the ethaddr setup.

No, not in meta-xilinx. The bootgen tool which is required for FSBL
images is only available from the Xilinx tools, and only
meta-xilinx-tools integrates with them.

In meta-xilinx the generated boot.bin only contains U-Boot SPL (full
U-Boot is loaded from the boot device from the u-boot.img file).

If you need FSBL then you will need meta-xilinx-tools, or you will
need to do it manually.

See above regarding U-Boot loading it from I2C.
