Subject: [PATCH] arc_emac: write initial MAC address from devicetree to hw

The MAC address retrieved from dt was not actually written to the
hardware. This meant proper communication was only possible after
changing the MAC address.

Fix that by always writing the mac address during probing.

I recently noticed this problem on the Radxa Rock board. I'm not
sure how this has ever worked on other platforms, though. I can
only receive broadcast packets without configuring the address.

Running ifconfig eth0 hw ether XYZ or applying the patch fixes
the problem for me.

CCing Heiko Stübner because he has seen the problem as well.
