[PATCH] r8152: Refresh MAC address during USBDEVFS_RESET

From: Mario Limonciello
Date: Mon Mar 25 2019 - 10:13:00 EST


On some platforms it is possible to dynamically change the policy
of what MAC address is selected from the ASL at runtime.

These tools will reset the USB device and expect the change to be
made immediately.
