forcedeth: mac address fix
This critical patch fixes a mac address issue recently introduced. If the device's mac address was in correct order and the flag NVREG_TRANSMITPOLL_MAC_ADDR_REV was set, during nv_remove the flag would get cleared. During next load, the mac address would get reversed because the flag is missing. As it has been indicated previously, the flag is cleared across a low power transition. Therefore, the driver should set the mac address back into the reversed order when clearing the flag. Also, the driver should set back the flag after a low power transition to protect against kexec command calling nv_probe a second time.
