net/faraday: Read MAC address from chip

Browse source

The device is assigned with random MAC address. It isn't reasonable.
An valid MAC address might have been provided by (uboot) firmware by
device-tree or in chip. It's reasonable to use it to maintain consistency.

This uses the MAC address from device-tree or that in the chip if it's
valid. Otherwise, a random MAC address is given as before.
