wilc1000: Bring MAC address setting in line with typical Linux behavior
Linux network drivers normally disallow changing the MAC address when the interface is up. This driver has been different in that it allows to change the MAC address *only* when it's up. This patch brings wilc1000 behavior more in line with other network drivers. We could have replaced wilc_set_mac_addr() with eth_mac_addr() but that would break existing documentation on how to change the MAC address. Likewise, return -EADDRNOTAVAIL (not -EINVAL) when the specified MAC address is invalid or unavailable.
