Set a unique global MAC address for each switch on the network at system
startup by syncing the switch's global MAC address with the Ethernet
address of the DSA master interface. This is crucial for supporting
Wake-on-LAN (WoL) functionality, as it requires a unique address for
each switch.
Although the operation is performed only at system start and won't sync
if the master Ethernet address changes dynamically, it lays the
groundwork for WoL support by ensuring a unique MAC address for each
switch.

Why not take the MAC address of the user port at ksz9477_set_wol() time,
and use the existing ksz_switch_macaddr_get() API that was just added so
that this use case could work?
Agreed we do that in a number of Ethernet MAC and PHY drivers FWIW
(net_device::dev_addr).
