OK. Will move it to oa_tc6.c in the next version as you have also 
suggested to use this as a helper function in the below comment.

OK, so I will replace eth_hw_addr_set() with 
eth_prepare_mac_addr_change() in the next version.

OK, I will implement this helper function as oa_tc6_enable_zarfe() in 
the oa_tc6.c. Also do you want me to move this helper function 
implementation to a new patch?
