[PATCH v2 3/3] net: eth-uclass: Add driver source possibility

Some net driver, like rtl8169, can set/get the MAC address from the
registers and store it in pdata->enetaddr.

When that happens, if there is a mismatch with the environment MAC
address, u-boot will show that the MAC address source is DT. This patch
ensures that the shown source is "driver" instead to avoid confusion.
