net: thunderbolt: Allow changing MAC address of the device

Browse Source 
The MAC address we use is based on a suggestion in the USB4 Inter-domain
spec but it is not really used in the USB4NET protocol. It is more
targeted for the upper layers of the network stack. There is no reason
why it should not be changed by the userspace for example if needed for
bonding.
