Francois Romieu e383d56487 r8169: revert "read MAC address from EEPROM on init"
This reverts commit 7bf6bf4803.

The code has both a short existence and an increasing track of failures
despite some work to amend it for -rc1.  It is not just a matter of
reading the eeprom: sometimes the eeprom is read correctly, then the mac
address is not written correctly back into the mac registers.

Some chipsets seem to work reliably but it is not clear at this point if
the code can simply be made to work on a per-chipset basis and post -rc1
is not the place where I want to experiment these things.
