Driver wl1251 generating mac address randomly at startup and there is no way to
set permanent mac address via SET_IEEE80211_PERM_ADDR. This patch export sysfs
file which can set permanent mac address by userspace helper program. Patch is
needed for devices which do not store mac address in internal wl1251 eeprom.
