Use more generic eth_platform_get_mac_address() which can get a MAC address from other than DT platform specific sources too. Check if the obtained address is valid. Signed-off-by: Łukasz Stelmach <l.stelmach@samsung.com>
Failure to probe a MAC address should result in the selection of a random one. This way, the interface still comes up and is usable even when the MAC address fails to be probed.
