If we just want to have the address field full of zeros during the
driver probe, is there a reason we should zero it explicitly here?
When the 'struct net_device' is first allocated using
alloc_etherdev(), the dev_addr field is explicitly set to zeros (in
the subfunction dev_addr_init() in

Copying the dummy HW address into the struct net_device doesn't need
to be done byte by byte; use ether_addr_copy() instead.
Additionally, dev->dev_addr is not eight bytes long.
ether_setup() sets the dev->addr_len to ETH_ALEN (defined as 6)
in the net core code.

Copying the dummy HW address into the struct net_device doesn't need
to be done byte by byte; use ether_addr_copy() instead.
Additionally, dev->dev_addr is not eight bytes long.
ether_setup() sets the dev->addr_len to ETH_ALEN (defined as 6)
in the net core code.
