Implement the random ethaddr fallback in eth.c so it is in a common place and not reimplemented in each board or driver that wants this behavior.
Signed-off-by: Joe Hershberger <joe.hershber...@ni.com> --- To function properly in the driver-model case, this patch requires that https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/467418/ be applied.
