brcm63xx: provide a default sane MAC address for Cable Modem devices
Cable modem devices currently poke at some random location in RAM and may end up having an invalid MAC address which is not suitable. Provide a default one which is sane. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <florian@openwrt.org> SVN-Revision: 36957
