Until now, the MPC5200 FEC ethernet driver relied upon the bootloader
(U-Boot) to write the MAC address into the ethernet controller
registers. The Linux driver should not rely on such a thing. So
lets read the MAC address from the DT as it should be done here.

This fixes a problem with a MPC5200 board that uses the SPL U-Boot
version without FEC initialization before Linux booting for
boot speedup.

Additionally a status line will now be printed upon successful
driver probing, also displaying this MAC address.

I don't think this is a conservative enough change.

You have to keep the MAC register reading code around, as a backup
code path in case the OF device node lacks a MAC address, also:

I really wish I would have caught this terrible module parameter
when the driver was initially submitted.

I would just get rid of this, and have a priority list of cases:

1) First, try OF node MAC address, if not present or invalid, then:

2) Read from MAC address registers, if invalid, then:

3) Log a warning message, and choose a random MAC address.

That way no matter what happens, the user will at least have a
functioning networking device.
