Some months ago I came up with the very same patch and I currently have 
it in my local fork with the description "Reading the MAC address from 
ROM is often a standard use case and should not produce a warning".

Therefore I'm supporting Soeren's and Fabio's point of view here and I'm 
in favor of merging this patch or if preferred, change the printf() to 
debug().
