This patch turns off MAC address mismatch warning when optional eeprom programmed with MAC address is not available. In that case, smc911x's MAC address register has its default value ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff and it's not a valid address. This makes eth_initialize() show the warning which has no meaningful information while environment variable ethaddr overrides the address read from the register. If there's no eeprom and the value of MAC address register is not valid after initialization, dev->enetaddr had better not be updated and maintain its initial value 00:00:00:00:00:00, which I think is what eth_initialize() expects. This is not a bug fix. Even without this patch, the driver works fine. It's just for enhancing the way of displaying messages.
