tools: gen_eth_addr: add getpid() to time(0) to avoid duplicated seed
As 'time(0) | getpid()' will have a lot of duplicated value. It is not a expected behavior. We expect different value for the seed when when run it in many times. So this patch will left shift the getpid() and add to time(0). That avoid duplicated value. Test command is like: % RUN=0; while [ $RUN -lt 10000 ]; do tools/gen_eth_addr; RUN=$(($RUN+1)); done | sort | uniq | wc -l 10000 This patch is incorporated with suggestions made by Wolfgang Denk and Andreas Bießmann. Thanks them a lot. Signed-off-by: Josh Wu <josh.wu@atmel.com> Acked-by: Andreas Bießmann <andreas.devel@googlemail.com> Acked-by: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> Tested-by: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>
