Hi.

After we get the FreeBSD OUI working I have the following idea.

In https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-arm/2023-September/003066.html
you posted that some bootargs are passed to the kernel. These bootargs contain
"smsc95xx.macaddr=B8:27:EB:09:CB:7D".

It would be nice if we could get these args in the driver and use it to set a
MAC address.
