Subject: [PATCH v2] net: usb: pegasus: Proper error handing when setting pegasus' MAC address

v2:

If reading the MAC address from eeprom fail don't throw an error, use randomly
generated MAC instead.  Either way the adapter will soldier on and the return
type of set_ethernet_addr() can be reverted to void.

v1:

Fix a bug in set_ethernet_addr() which does not take into account possible
errors (or partial reads) returned by its helpers.  This can potentially lead to
writing random data into device's MAC address registers.
