Random_ether_addr() is a helper function which was kept for backward
compatibility. It is available in the kernel from version 3.6 to 5.16.
In newer kernel verions, it has been completely replaced by eth_random_addr().
There should be no functional changes.

Commit c5cc3d9610 ("lantiq: Change the data-type of mac address in ETOP driver")
changed the type of the mac variable. Since then, the priv->mac check always evaluates
as true, so this check can be removed.
This fix compilation warning:
