In some R&D chips, the device may be left untrimmed and with the MAC
address missing from fuse ROM. In order to support those devices,
apply a random locally administered MAC address instead.

In v2:
* use eth_random_addr() to generate the locally assigned address,
instead of hardcoding it. (thanks Johannes)
