net: sparx5: make ports inherit the switch base mac address type

When the switch uses a random base MAC address it does not mark each
port's address as random:

  $ dmesg | grep "MAC addr"
  sparx5-switch e00c0000.switch: MAC addr was not set, use random MAC
  $ cat /sys/class/net/eth0/addr_assign_type
  0

0 is NET_ADDR_PERM, so userspace thinks this is a stable address.

With a random MAC reported as NET_ADDR_PERM, systemd's
MACAddressPolicy=persistent [1] leaves it unchanged, so a DHCP client
gets a new IP address every boot and a static reservation can't be used.
Reporting it as NET_ADDR_RANDOM makes systemd replace it with a stable
address derived from the interface name and machine-id.
