Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: gianfar: fix NVMEM mac address

From: Rosen Penev <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 8 Sep 2024 14:35:54 -0700

If nvmem loads after the ethernet driver, mac address assignments will
not take effect. of_get_ethdev_address returns EPROBE_DEFER in such a
case so we need to handle that to avoid eth_hw_addr_random.
