Hehe, I simply mean that, on my device, the contents of ` /sys/module/g_android/parameters/serial_number` are [directly derived from the kernel](https://github.com/alanorth/kernel_huawei_u8160/blob/cm7/arch/arm/mach-msm/board-msm7x25.c#L462):

``static struct msm_hsusb_platform_data msm_hsusb_pdata = {
.version	= 0x0100,
.phy_info	= (USB_PHY_INTEGRATED | USB_PHY_MODEL_65NM),
.vendor_id = 0x5c6,
.product_name = "Qualcomm HSUSB Device",
.serial_number = "1234567890ABCDEF",
.manufacturer_name = "Qualcomm Incorporated",
.compositions	= usb_func_composition,
.num_compositions = ARRAY_SIZE(usb_func_composition),
.function_map = usb_functions_map,
.num_functions	= ARRAY_SIZE(usb_functions_map),
.config_gpio = NULL,
``

That `123456...` results in a MAC of `12:34:56:78:90:ac`. Sure it's a MAC address, but it's not any more "unique" than what we already have statically in nvram.txt.
