checkpatch: ignore request to use ether_addr_copy()

The Linux kernel, from which checkpatch originates, contains function
ether_addr_copy() to copy Ethernet MAC addresses, and checkpatch warns
that it should be used in preference to memcpy() where appropriate.
U-Boot doesn't contain ether_addr_copy(), so tell checkpatch not to issue
this warning.
