MR42 random eth0 MAC following sysupgrade

After upgrading 23.05.0 to 23.05.2, eth0 MAC appears to get randomly generated at each boot. Where as before, it presented the MAC as found on the hardware label.

Got my MR42, tested the update and it's now merged to the 23.05 branch, thanks to @robimarko !

Worth noting that 24.10 / SNAPSHOT builds should work fine and detect the MAC addresses correctly since that change was just a backport of a change made somewhere in the transition to kernel 6.x
