If I implement the function I get a "eth@eth0: got MAC address from EEPROM:
00:00:00:00:00:00" at startup.
That why I returned -1 as what I could find int at91_ether.c......
Or, I could find something to return -1 as long as the MAC address hasn't
been set.

We could put this in the MII code ? Or should I simply remove it ?
