[U-Boot] [PATCH 06/14] net: core: Using an ethernet address from ROM is not bad

Currently we print a warning if the MAC address is read from
ROM/Hardware. This should not be concidered a bad or erronous thing. A
MAC address should come either from the hardware (ROM) or may be
set/overriden in the environment. Neither is a warning or error case.
Worthy of a warning is the case where both are set, so the user is
atleast aware something special is happening.
