Subject: [PATCH] net: hamradio: remove unused variable

The array bpq_eth_addr is only used to get the size of an
address. Remove the array and use the size of the array
bcast_addr which is actually copied.

Also constify and tidy up the bcast_addr declaration.

This fixes a warning seen with clang:
drivers/net/hamradio/bpqether.c:94:13: warning: variable 'bpq_eth_addr' is not
      needed and will not be emitted [-Wunneeded-internal-declaration]
static char bpq_eth_addr[6];
            ^
1 warning generated.
