someone already posted a patch for this issue:
	NET: Fix MAC addr handling for smc911x

i think the approach they took is better -- they check for explicit values 
that indicate 'no srom is attached' rather than 'is the mac valid' as your 
code could ignore attached srom's but bad addresses.  in this latter case, i 
think we want the warning.
