imx: fec: add MAC reading from eFuses to README

Extend the documentation of the fec_mxc configuration by describing its
ability to read the ethaddr MAC address from the SoC eFuses.

Also add an example how to program the fuses for an imx5 to clarify the
byte order.

Reading the ethaddr from the SoC eFuses:
if CONFIG_FEC_MXC is defined and the U-Boot environment does not contain the
ethaddr variable, then its value gets read from the corresponding eFuses in
the SoC. See the README files of the specific SoC for details.

2.1 MAC Address: It is stored in the words 9 to 14 of fuse bank 1, using the
natural MAC byte order (i.e. MSB first).
This is an example how to program an example MAC address 01:23:45:67:89:ab
into the eFuses. Assure that the programming voltage is available and then
execute:
=> fuse prog -y 1 9 01 23 45 67 89 ab
After programming a MAC address, consider locking the MAC fuses. This is
done by programming the MAC_ADDR_LOCK fuse, which is bit 4 of word 0 in
bank 1:
=> fuse prog -y 1 0 10
