of: net: add a helper for loading netdev->dev_addr
[ Upstream commit d466effe ] 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. There are roughly 40 places where netdev->dev_addr is passed as the destination to a of_get_mac_address() call. Add a helper which takes a dev pointer instead, so it can call an appropriate helper. Note that of_get_mac_address() already assumes the address is 6 bytes long (ETH_ALEN) so use eth_hw_addr_set(). Signed-off-by:Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by:
