1fd92db83d net: cosmetic: Fix var naming net <-> eth drivers
Update the naming convention used in the network stack functions and
variables that Ethernet drivers use to interact with it.

This cleans up the temporary hacks that were added to this interface
along with the DM support.

This patch has a few remaining checkpatch.pl failures that would be out
of the scope of this patch to fix (drivers that are in gross violation
of checkpatch.pl).

ecee9324d7 Program net device MAC addresses after initializing
Add a new function to the eth_device struct for programming a network
controller's hardware address.

After all network devices have been initialized and the proper MAC address
for each has been determined, make a device driver call to program the
address into the device.  Only device instances with valid unicast addresses
will be programmed.

e5c5d9e083 clarify eth driver halt/recv steps
The dev->halt() func can be called at any time, and the dev->recv() func
does not need to use NetRxPackets[] when calling NetReceive().
