Oops, my apologies. mdio err path and logical and bitwise for mac address are
my mistake I didn't tested carefully (maybe tested with previous version)
because I couldn't much time to test it due to facing merge window. sorry
about that...

For logical and bitwise OR for mac address, actually I couldn't catch since
"eth_hw_addr_random" is used.. however it is also mistake.

I apology again.
