We are planning to add several boards based on the same APX4 module in 
the future. Then it would be useful to collect generic code into one 
module source file.

fec.macaddr is only getting mac address as array not in colon separated 
string format as uboot is handling it.

Ok.

I noticed mx28evk and mx28evk have also those functions in wrong order.
