The vendor driver does upon failing to read a valid MAC address from
EEPROM write the netdev's address back to EEPROM and invoking a EEPROM
reload operation. Based on this we can implement the ethtool_ops
set_eeprom and provide the means to populate the EEPROM from within
Linux.
It's worth noting that ax88179_get_eeprom() will return some default
data unless the content of the EEPROM is deemed "complete", so until the
EEPROM is fully populated (e.g. by running ethtool -e | ethtool -E)
data written with ax88179_set_eeprom() will appear not to stick.
The implementation is based on asix_set_eeprom(), from asix_common.c
