Hello Ben,

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.
This is a significant departure from existing U-boot
behavior, but costs very
little in startup time and addresses a very common
complaint among developers.
