[PATCH 2/2] mac_pton: support MAC addresses without delimiters

[Michael Pratt]

From: Michael Pratt <mcpratt@xxxxx>

Some network hardware vendors may do something unique
when storing the MAC address into hardware in ASCII,
like leaving out delimiters in order to avoid
using more than a single 16-byte logical addressing line.

Allow parsing of MAC addresses without a delimiter.
