Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: dsa: set random switch address

An Ethernet switch may support having a MAC address, which can be used
as the switch's source address in transmitted full-duplex Pause frames.

If a DSA switch supports the related .set_addr operation, the DSA core
sets the master's MAC address on the switch.

This won't make sense anymore in a multi-CPU ports system, because there
won't be a unique master device assigned to a switch tree.

To fix this, assign a random MAC address to the switch chip instead.
