Thats actually a confusion with function name here.
Think its better to name it aqc111_init_mac() since it gets called
only once on bind.

It really initializes perm_addr once, thus standard ndev callback will give
the perm mac you want.

We even don't need this `buf` here at all. We'll move it into
above init_mac function.
