-    net: split eth_mac_addr for better error handling
-    
-    When we set mac address, software mac address in system and hardware mac
-    address all need to be updated. Current eth_mac_addr() doesn't allow
-    callers to implement error handling nicely.
-    
-    This patch split eth_mac_addr() to prepare part and real commit part,
-    then we can prepare first, and try to change hardware address, then do
-    the real commit if hardware address is set successfully.
