[U-Boot] [PATCH 08/14] net: core: Add function to check/set MAC locality

[Olliver Schinagl]

Universally administered and locally administered addresses are
distinguished by setting the second-least-significant bit of the first
octet of the address. Having a function to check and set this U/L bit
from a function makes it nice for boards that want to generate their own
mac address to ensure they are locally administered.
