Well, the MAC address goes to the MAC not the PHY... so it
shouldn't have any adverse effect on that.
Besides checking that the PHY address is correct this also
catches cases where the PHY is broken or not soldered correctly,
or when the MDIO clock divisor is wrong etc.
Can save time in trouble shooting.
