Re: [PATCH 2/2] asix: fix setting custom MAC address on Asix 88178 devices

(Note: only compile tested, I don't have 88178 device to confirm that this
patch works. Please, test.)

In kernel v3.2 initialization sequence for Asix 88178 devices was changed so
that hardware is reseted on every time interface is brought up (ifconfig up),
instead just at USB probe time. This causes problem with setting custom MAC
address to device as ax88178_reset causes reload of MAC address from EEPROM.

This patch fixes the issue by rewriting MAC address at end of ax88178_reset.

Please do not format your commit messages like this, everything after
that first "---" will be stripped away.  So in this case if I applied
this email into GIT as-is we'd lose the actual commit message and
only have your "(Note: " thing.

I fixed this up and applied it with Grant's ACK.
