ethernet: constify references to netdev->dev_addr in drivers
[ Upstream commit 76660757 ] This big patch sprinkles const on local variables and function arguments which may refer to netdev->dev_addr. Commit 406f42fa ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look up. To maintain netdev->dev_addr in this tree we need to make all the writes to it got through appropriate helpers. Some of the changes here are not strictly required - const is sometimes cast off but pointer is not used for writing. It seems like it's still better to add the const in case the code changes later or relevant -W flags get enabled for the build. No functional changes.
