[PATCH v3 2/2] net: add generic MAC address derivation from machine ID

[Uwe Kleine-König]

From: Ahmad Fatoum <ahmad at a3f.at>

Especially during development, devices often lack a MAC address. While a
MAC address can be easily added to the environment:

  nv dev.eth0.ethaddr="aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff"

It's easily lost when flashing complete new images, e.g. from CI.
Make the development experience neater by deriving a stable MAC address
if possible.

+
+	  This is not recommended for use in production as it may leak
+	  information about the machine ID.
