I was at EOSS last week so didn't get a chance to test this, but I
just tested it now and I can confirm that it breaks trogdor. It
appears that trogdor devices seem to have a variant of your "default"
address. Instead of:

00:00:00:00:5a:ad

We seem to have a default of this:

39:98:00:00:5a:ad

...so almost the same, but not enough the same to make it work with
your code. I checked 3 different trogdor boards and they were all the
same, though I can't 100% commit to saying that every trogdor device
out there has that same default address...

Given that this breaks devices and also that it's already landed and
tagged for stable, what's the plan here? Do we revert? Do we add the
second address in and hope that there aren't trogdor devices out in
the wild that somehow have a different default?
