net: ethernet: provide nvmem_get_mac_address()
We already have of_get_nvmem_mac_address() but some non-DT systems want to read the MAC address from NVMEM too. Implement a generalized routine that takes struct device as argument. Signed-off-by: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@baylibre.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
