net: allow setting env enetaddr from net device setting

If the net driver has setup a valid ethernet address and an ethernet address is not set in the environment already, then set the environment variables from the net driver setting. This enables pxe booting on boards which don't set ethaddr env variable. Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <[email protected]>
