    device property: Introduce fwnode_get_mac_address() · babe2dbb
    Marcin Wojtas authored
    Until now there were two almost identical functions for
    obtaining MAC address - of_get_mac_address() and, more generic,
    device_get_mac_address(). However it is not uncommon,
    that the network interface is represented as a child
    of the actual controller, hence it is not associated
    directly to any struct device, required by the latter
    routine.
    
    This commit allows for getting the MAC address for
    children nodes in the ACPI world by introducing a new function -
    fwnode_get_mac_address(). This commit also changes
    device_get_mac_address() routine to be its wrapper, in order
    to prevent unnecessary duplication.
