I've recently made an effort to include the label MAC address into OpenWrt, so that's why I try to advertise this here :-)

If not available via DTS, you can specify label_mac in the MAC address section of 02_network, e.g.
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/master/target/linux/ath79/generic/base-files/etc/board.d/02_network#L296

So, for your case it looks like you would have to add

ubnt,litebeam-ac-gen2)
	label_mac=$(mtd_get_mac_binary art 0x5006)
	;;

inside ath79_setup_macs() there.

I've tried to provide a short overview about the label MAC address here:
https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/mac.address#label_mac_address
