if_dc + EN5251 + incorrect MAC address

Hi,

I had a 4.7-STABLE machine with three same type NICs (Accton Technology 
Corporation / EN5251-Based Fast Ethernet Adapter). Ifconfig reports the same 
08:00:08:00:08:00 MAC address for all three cards. I've searched the 
mailing lists for similar problems and found some threads on the issue with 
some PR links that have it fixed. Yesterday I've updated the machine to 
4.9-STABLE, but it did not fix anything. There are some patches in the 
PR-s, but the latest if_dc.c file does not have such lines. Was this problem 
fixed some other way that just does not work with this card, or was the fix 
forgotten? One PR ends with 'will be MFC-d for 4.8-RELEASE', the other 
simply says 'it's been fixed in both CURRENT and STABLE'.
