Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 3/3] net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw: Lower random mac address error print to info

From: Nishanth Menon <nm@...com>

[ Upstream commit 50980d8da71a0c2e045e85bba93c0099ab73a209 ]

Using random mac address is not an error since the driver continues to
function, it should be informative that the system has not assigned
a MAC address. This is inline with other drivers such as ax88796c,
dm9051 etc. Drop the error level to info level.
