Stable backported 48eab831ae8b ("net: create netdev->dev_addr assignment

I've tested that it cherry-picks well to the aforementioned branches. |

Thank you for catching this but I'll check first if there really isn't a sane(r) way to detect the backport, this would be so ugly that I would like to make sure it's the only option. |

(Also, sorry for all the PR spam, but there seems to be no better way to get that included. I wish there were a way to create one PR for multiple branches...)
