Some older bootcode in some devices may report 0 MAC address in

problem by checking for a valid MAC address in SRAM and falling back
to NVRAM if necessary.
Seems to fix the problem, thanks.
Thanks to walt

Let me know if can test any patches, etc.
It doesn't make sense. This code should have no effect on your
5702

5702. With or without this patch, the 5702 will be powered down
the same with tg3_writephy(tp, MII_BMCR, BMCR_PDOWN) if WOL
is not enabled
