Note that this breaks every single setup where smc911x is not primary
ethernet. On systems where smc911x is secondary ethernet, you need to
set eth1addr and so on, so please do fix that.

Also, this kind of ethXaddr update should happen in the ethernet core
instead, drivers shouldn't really modify environment, no ?
