[PATCH 2/3] configs: phycore_am62x_r5_ethboot_defconfig: Drop NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR

From: Daniel Schultz <d.schultz at phytec.de>

BOOTP does not support dynamic lease expiration. Using random MAC
addresses on R5 network boot binaries would result in continuously
allocated IPs without proper release.

Since only one interface is enabled for network boot, rely on the
MAC address provided by the efuses instead.
