FWIW, there are two block power management controls on the kirkwood
chips, one is documented to a clock gate, and one is documented to a
be a power down. I wouldn't expect the clock gate to have a problem
with the MAC address, but the powerdown I would expect to wipe it..

Other varients might have only the powerdown..

That said, I'm not sure what Linux uses on Kirkwood, it ideally should
be using both, I think.
