RESEND: [PATCH v3 net-next] sky2: use random address if EEPROM is bad

On some embedded systems the EEPROM does not contain a valid MAC address.
In that case it is better to fallback to a generated mac address and
let init scripts fix the value later.

[Changed handcoded setup to use eth_hw_addr_random() and to save new address into HW]
