Thanks to the support by Diederik, I was able to build a new kernel
with the two patches reverted and this kernel solves the issue and
uses the correct MAC and renames the interface to enx<mac> as before
instead of using a random MAC and using eth0 as the inerface name.

Thanks for this hint and pointing to the perfect chapter, which made
building a test kernel really easy.

I used the two patches, that you suggested, they are exactly the
reverse of the two problem patches, that lead us to this issue.

Greetings
