In many parts of the computing world having a unique MAC address

Remove the warning to not scare the user unnecessarily.
This applies to Highbank/Midway and ARM's Juno, for instance.
Besides that this fixes the formatting on Midway, for instance,
which currently looks like:
...
Net: xgmac0
Warning: xgmac0 using MAC address from net device
, xgmac1
Warning: xgmac1 using MAC address from net device
...
