In case there is no valid MAC address kernel generates random one. This patch propagate this generated MAC address back to NVS data which will be uploaded to wl1251 chip. So HW would have same MAC address as linux kernel uses.
This should not change any functionality, but it is better to tell wl1251 correct mac address since beginning of chip usage.
