When get_registers() fails, in set_ethernet_addr(),the uninitialized
value of node_id gets copied as the address. This can be considered as
set_ethernet_addr() itself failing.
The return type of set_ethernet_addr() is modified to indicate if it
failed or not, and return values are appropriately checked by caller.
When set_ethernet_addr() fails, a randomly generated MAC address is set
as the MAC address instead.
On the other hand, for the case when get_registers() does succeed,
set_ethernet_addr() has been updated to use ether_addr_copy() to copy
the address, instead of memcpy().

Changes in v3:
* Set a random MAC address to the device rather than making
the device not work at all in the even set_ethernet_addr()
fails. (Suggested by David Miller <da...@davemloft.net>)
* Update set_ethernet_addr() to use ether_addr_copy() to copy
the MAC Address (instead of using memcpy() for that same).
(Suggested by Joe Perches <j...@perches.com>)
Changes in v2:
* Modified condition checking get_registers()'s return value to
ret == sizeof(node_id)
for stricter checking in compliance with the new
usb_control_msg_recv()
API
* Added Acked-by: Petko Manolov
