Thanks for pointing me in the right direction here. I think I get it
now; please correct me if I am wrong: board_eth_init should assign the
eth_device->write_hwaddr() function pointer then eth_initialize() will
handle calling board_eth_init and will set the MAC address from the
ethaddr env var if the MAC address in the eth_device struct is
all-zeroes.

Best Regards,
Ben Gardiner
