While I think that a better fix would be to not generate the MAC during the
parsing stage because it's semantically wrong, I also understand that changing
that properly wouldn't be possible without a large refactor. Also, I'm not
experienced enough in the networking code to be so sure that moving the burden
of generating the MAC to individual drivers rather than doing it in the parser
is a viable solution for all the drivers. Therefore I agree with this approach,
it gets the job done, but if someone has a stronger opinion backed by solid
arguments as for why it should be worth to refactor the whole thing, speak up.

Code-wise, I would probably enhance this loop in the following manner:
- move the PCI lookup code above ^this hunk because semantically, PCI match has
a precedence over MAC (probably because we allow multiple devices with the
same MAC, but there might be other historical reasons for that), so you save
some CPU cycles

- you could then drop the second operand ^here, because PCI would be handled
first (and it breaks the loop), so we get here only with MAC lookup

Eventually, a patch preceding yours could be similar to the following (I didn't
bother rebasing and making the changes, I made them on top of this patch, I'm
sure you'll get the picture):
