Subject: [PATCH] net: fec: add the initial to set the physical mac address

For imx6slx evk platform, the fec driver cannot work since there have no valid mac address set in physical mac registers.

For imx serial platform, fec/enet IPs both need the physical MAC address initial, otherwise it cannot work.

After acquiring the valid MAC address from devices tree/pfuse/ kernel command line/random mac address, and then set it to the physical MAC address registers.
