The mac address can be read from bp only after bnxt_bring_chip is
called, which is after read_rom_hwaddr is called. Theoretically we can
call bnxt_bring_chip in bind or in read_rom_hwaddr and then one can
use this method if desired.
How long does bnxt_bring_chip() take? In milliseconds? If it isn't
extremely long, I think it could be called from read_rom_hwaddr...

eth_env_set_enetaddr_by_index()

We can change and use this method.
Pls do, and drop the env deletion.

We will make requested changes in v5.
Thank you very much for your review,
Roman
