[PATCH] of: net: support NVMEM cells with MAC in text format

[Rafał Miłecki]

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@xxxxxxxxxx>

Some NVMEM devices have text based cells. In such cases MAC is stored in
a XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX format. Use mac_pton() to parse such data and
support those NVMEM cells. This is required to support e.g. a very
popular U-Boot and its environment variables.

Please let me know if checking NVMEM cell length (6 B vs. 17 B) can be
considered a good enough solution. Alternatively we could use some DT
property to make it explicity, e.g. something like:

ethernet@18024000 {
	compatible = "brcm,amac";
	reg = <0x18024000 0x800>;

	nvmem-cells = <&mac_addr>;
	nvmem-cell-names = "mac-address";
	nvmem-mac-format = "text";
};
