Subject: asix, setting MAC broken in v3.2. Bisected to "NET: fix phy init
 for AX88772 USB ethernet".

Hello,

I have asix adapter plugged to mini-server and have to change MAC  
address before DHCP because of ISP. This worked fine, until v3.2. Now  
I have to set interface in promisc mode to have custom MAC working.

I bisected problem to '[4ad1438f025ed8d1e4e95a796ca7f0ad5a22c378] NET:  
fix phy init for AX88772 USB ethernet':
