This patch adds support for pushing a MAC address out to USB based ethernet controllers driven by cdc_ncm. With this change, ifconfig can now set the device's MAC address. For example, the Dell Universal Dock D6000 is driven by cdc_ncm. The D6000 can now have its MAC address set by ifconfig, as it can be done in Windows. This was tested with a D6000 using ifconfig on an x86 based chromebook, where iproute2 is not available.
