Currently "bfmac=" param expects MAC address to follow "aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff" format, however standard defines that it might also be "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff". Change the way how "bfmac=" param is parsed, so it accepts both formats. Signed-off-by: Pawel Baldysiak <[email protected]>

This implementation is backward compatible and also handles grub format. This is efficient because the mac is required to be in the same format as grub stores is it, for finding the matching interface name from /sys/class/net/*/address
