would it make sense to have the core dump the warning ?

Maybe. Many drivers already print information about setting a random mac 
address to a netdevice. Some with printk, some via 
netdev_warn/netdev_info/netdev_dbg or netif_dbg and other with costum 
methods. I could unify this, in a next step with a netdev_info in 
eth_hw_addr_random(), if it's okay for David. 

All of these log messages are stupid and should be removed.

If someone is seriously interested in it, we have the damn random
address boolean state which can be inspected in the sysfs addr_assign_type
node for the device.

End of story.
