The MAC retrieval logic is using a variable to store an h/w stored mac address and checks this mac against invalid ones before using it. But the mac address is only read from h/w when using PPv2.1. So when using PPv2.2 it defaults to its init state.
This patches fixes the logic to only check if the h/w mac is valid when actually retrieving a mac from h/w.
