[PATCH u-boot 4/5] net: Implement random ethaddr fallback in eth.c

OpenBMC Patches openbmc-patches at stwcx.xyz

From: Joe Hershberger <joe.hershberger at ni.com>

Commit bef1014b31c5b33052bcaa865ba3618d73e906f0 upstream.

Backport changes CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR to CONFIG_RANDOM_MACADDR,
net_random_ethaddr to eth_random_enetaddr, and is_zero_ethaddr to
is_zero_ether_addr, and keeps existing function order.

Upstream log:

Implement the random ethaddr fallback in eth.c so it is in a common
place and not reimplemented in each board or driver that wants this
behavior.
