Maybe. Many drivers already print information about setting a random mac 
address to a netdevice. Some with printk, some via 
netdev_warn/netdev_info/netdev_dbg or netif_dbg and other with costum 
methods. I could unify this, in a next step with a netdev_info in 
eth_hw_addr_random(), if it's okay for David.
