This commit adds a new boardctl command BOARDCTL_MACADDR to retrieve the MAC address of the network interface. The board_macaddr function needs to be implemented by the board logic.
Note: Please adhere to Contributing Guidelines.
Summary
This PR introduces a new boardctl command BOARDCTL_MACADDR to allow applications (like netinit ) to retrieve the network interface MAC address from the board-specific logic.
Why In some embedded scenarios, the MAC address (especially for Wi-Fi) is stored in board-specific storage (e.g., OTP, NVM, or a config file) and needs to be retrieved by the network initialization logic at runtime. Currently, there is no standard boardctl command for this purpose.
