[PATCH 2/2] net: nixge: Address compiler warnings about signedness

[Moritz Fischer]

Fixes the following warnings:
warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of
âis_valid_ether_addrâ differ in signedness [-Wpointer-sign]
  if (mac_addr && is_valid_ether_addr(mac_addr)) {
                                      ^~~~~~~~
expected âconst u8 * {aka const unsigned char *}â but argument
is of type âconst char *â
 static inline bool is_valid_ether_addr(const u8 *addr)
                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
warning: pointer targets in passing argument 2 of
âether_addr_copyâ differ in signedness [-Wpointer-sign]
   ether_addr_copy(ndev->dev_addr, mac_addr);
                                   ^~~~~~~~
expected âconst u8 * {aka const unsigned char *}â but argument
is of type âconst char *â
 static inline void ether_addr_copy(u8 *dst, const u8 *src)
