As the CDC-ECM specification states the host MAC address must be sent to
the host as an uppercase hexadecimal string:
     The Unicode character is chosen from the set of values 30h through
     39h and 41h through 46h (0-9 and A-F).

However, snprintf(.., "%pm", ..) generates a lowercase MAC address
string. While most host drivers are tolerant to this, UsbNcm.sys on
Windows 10 is not. Instead it uses a different MAC address with all
bytes set to zero including and after the first byte containing a
lowercase letter. On Windows 11 Microsoft fixed it, but apparently they
did not backport the fix.

This change fixes the issue by upper-casing the MAC to comply with the
specification.
