sh_eth: use random MAC address if no valid one supplied
On Renesas R-Car based development boards, although a MAC address is printed on
all the Ethernet port labels, U-Boot doesn't write a valid MAC address to the
Ether MAHR/MALR registers (there's no storage provided for the Ether MAC address
either), so we have to resort to using a random MAC address...
