Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] net: add support for nvmem to eth_platform_get_mac_address()

From: [email-masked] (Bartosz Golaszewski)
Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2018 10:20:27 +0200

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <[email-masked]>

Many non-DT platforms read the MAC address from EEPROM. Usually it's
either done with callbacks defined in board files or from SoC-specific
ethernet drivers.

In order to generalize this, try to read the MAC from nvmem in
eth_platform_get_mac_address() using a standard lookup name:
"mac-address".
