Subject: sis190: read the mac address from the eeprom first
From: Francois Romieu <romieu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Reading a series of zero from the cmos sram area do not work well with
is_valid_ether_addr().  Let's read the mac address from the eeprom first as
it seems more reliable.

Fix for http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9831
