Include information about permanent ethernet MAC address and add link how to build ATF as U-Boot on Espressobin cannot be flashed without ATF.

+Permanent ethernet MAC address +-------------------------------
- Prior flashing new U-Boot version (as part of ATF image) it is suggested to backup
- permanent ethernet MAC address as it is stored only in U-Boot env storage (SPI or eMMC).
- Some boards like EspressoBin have MAC address printed on sticker. To print current MAC
- address run:
# echo $ethaddr- MAC addresses 00:51:82:11:22:00, 00:51:82:11:22:01, 00:51:82:11:22:02, 00:51:82:11:22:03
- and F0:AD:4E:03:64:7F are default hardcoded values found in Marvell's and Armbian U-Boot
- forks and therefore *not* unique. Usage of static hardcoded MAC addresses should be avoided.
- When original address is lost (e.g. erased by Armbian boot scripts for EspressoBin) it is
- suggested to generate new random one.
- After flashing new U-Boot version it is suggested to reset U-Boot env variables to default
- and then set correct permanent ethernet MAC address.
# env default -a# setenv ethaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX# saveenv- Where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is permanent ethernet MAC address.
- Recent Linux kernel versions use correct permanent ethernet MAC address from U-Boot env as
- U-Boot will inject it into kernel's device-tree.
