[U-Boot] [PATCH v5] net: allow setting env enetaddr from net device setting

From: Rob Herring <rob.herring at calxeda.com>

If the net driver has setup a valid ethernet address and an ethernet
address is not set in the environment already, then set the environment
variables from the net driver setting.

This enables pxe booting on boards which don't set ethaddr env variable.

v5:
- Based on Joe's comments and new commit 6937664426446b763 "net/eth.c: fix
  eth_write_hwaddr() to use dev->enetaddr as fall back", moved the setting
  of ethaddr and allow the driver write_hwaddr to be called.
- fixed trailing whitespace in documentation

v4:
- rewrite of documentation from Wolfgang

v3:
- print a warning if using mac address from the net device

v2:
- Re-wrote to always setup ethaddr env variables
