[U-Boot] [PATCH] ne2000: take MAC address from config if available

Hi,

the board I'm currently working on has an ASIX AX88796 NE2000 clone but
no EEPROM attached to it. Hence, the get_prom() routine returns zeros
only so the system won't work.

This patch takes the MAC address given by CONFIG_ETHADDR and translates
it to numeric values. This could probably go to some other, more generic
place, but I didn't find any.

Best regards,
Daniel
