This patch adds support for pushing a MAC address out to USB based
ethernet controllers driven by cdc_ncm. With this change, ifconfig can
now set the device's MAC address. For example, the Dell Universal Dock
D6000 is driven by cdc_ncm. The D6000 can now have its MAC address set
by ifconfig, as it can be done in Windows. This was tested with a D6000
using ifconfig.
