92ac520821 net: Remove all references to CONFIG_ETHADDR and friends
We really don't want boards defining fixed MAC addresses in their config
so we just remove the option to set it in a fixed way. If you must have
a MAC address that was not provisioned, then use the random MAC address
functionality.

bef1014b31 net: Implement random ethaddr fallback in eth.c
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.

0adb5b761f net: cosmetic: Name ethaddr variables consistently
Use "_ethaddr" at the end of variables and drop CamelCase.
Make constant values actually 'const'.

c88ef3c12d net: allow setting env enetaddr from net device setting
If the net driver has setup a valid ethernet address and an ethernet
address is not set in the environment already, then set the environment
variables from the net driver setting.

This enables pxe booting on boards which don't set ethaddr env variable.

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.

the MAC address is correct.
