Subject: [PATCH 1/3] bridge: preserve random init MAC address

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@...e.com>

As it is now if you add create a bridge it gets started
with a random MAC address and if you then add a net_device
as a slave but later kick it out you end up with a zero
MAC address. Instead preserve the original random MAC
address and use it.

If you manually set the bridge address that will always
be respected. This change only takes effect if at the time
of computing the new root port we determine we have found
no candidates.
