    asix: fix setting mac address for AX88772
    
    Setting new MAC address only worked when device was set to promiscuous mode.
    Fix MAC address by writing new address to device using undocumented command
    AX_CMD_READ_NODE_ID+1. Patch is tested with AX88772 device.


This patch fixes problem when asix device acts as backup slave in bonding mode=1. Without this patch device does not receive traffic unless it's put in promisc mode.
