Previously BMC's MAC address is calculated by simply adding 1 to the last byte of network controller's MAC address, and it produces incorrect result when network controller's MAC address ends with 0xFF. The problem can be fixed by calling "net_addr_inc" function to increment MAC address; besides, the MAC address is also validated before assigning to BMC.
