smsc911x: allow setting of mac address
This patch replaces the generic eth_mac_addr function with one that also updates the hardware mac address registers. It also renames the existing smsc911x_set_mac_address function to smsc911x_hw_set_mac_address for clarity. Newer LAN911x and all LAN921x devices also support changing the mac address while the device is running, which is useful for some bonding modes.
