[PATCH] ARC: AXS10x/HSDK: Allow U-Boot to pass MAC-address to the kernel

Otherwise kernel uses random MAC which is not very conveniet. With that change in place use might set desired MAC in U-Boot with "setenv ethaddr 11:22:33:44:55:66", save environment and then from boot to boot the same MAC will be used by the kernel. One other note for this to happen it's required
