Many embedded devices have information such as MAC addresses stored
inside NVMEMs like EEPROMs and so on. Currently there are only two
drivers in the tree which benefit from NVMEM bindings.

Adding support for NVMEM into every other driver would mean adding a lot
of repetitive code. This patch allows us to configure MAC addresses in
various devices like ethernet and wireless adapters directly from
of_get_mac_address, which is already used by almost every driver in the
tree.

Predecessor of this patch which used directly MTD layer has originated
in OpenWrt some time ago and supports already about 497 use cases in 357
device tree files.

 Changes since v1:

  * moved handling of nvmem after mac-address and local-mac-address properties

 Changes since v2:

  * moved of_get_mac_addr_nvmem after of_get_mac_addr(np, "address") call
  * replaced kzalloc, kmemdup and kfree with it's devm variants
  * introduced of_has_nvmem_mac_addr helper which checks if DT node has nvmem
    cell with `mac-address`
  * of_get_mac_address now returns ERR_PTR encoded error value

 Changes since v3:

  * removed of_has_nvmem_mac_addr helper as it's not needed now
  * of_get_mac_address now returns only valid pointer or ERR_PTR encoded error value

I'm not sure why you need to do that allocation here, and why you need
to modify the DT?

can't you just return the mac address directly since it's what the
of_get_mac_address caller will expect anyway?

I was asked about that in v2[0] already, so just copy&pasting relevant part of
my response here:

 I've just carried it over from v1 ("of_net: add mtd-mac-address support to
 of_get_mac_address()")[1] as nobody objected about this so far.

 Honestly I don't know if it's necessary to have it, but so far address,
 mac-address and local-mac-address properties provide this DT nodes, so I've
 simply thought, that it would be good to have it for MAC address from NVMEM as
 well in order to stay consistent.

I don't need this stuff, I can remove it, please just tell me what is
appropriate and I'm going to do that.

Well, if no ones need it, then there's no point in adding support for
it then?
