smsc75xx: only set mac address once on bind
This patch changes when we decide what the device's MAC address is from per ifconfig up to once when the device is connected. Without this patch, a manually forced device MAC is overwritten on ifconfig down/up. Also devices that have no EEPROM are assigned a new random address on ifconfig down/up instead of persisting the same one.
