Using random mac address is not an error since the driver continues to
function, it should be informative that the system has not assigned
a MAC address. This is inline with other drivers such as ax88796c,
dm9051 etc. Drop the error level to info level.

This is esp irritating on platforms such as J721E-IDK-GW which has a
bunch of ethernet interfaces, and not all of them have MAC address
assigned from Efuse.
