Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 2/3] net: add support for nvmem to
 eth_platform_get_mac_address()


Maybe it would be simpler as three separate functions:

int of_eth_get_mac_address() <- rename existing function to this
int nvmem_eth_get_mac_address() <- patch 2
int mtd_eth_nvmem_get_mac_address() patch 3

	int ret;

	ret = of_eth_get_mac_address(dev, mac_addr);
	if (!ret)
		return 0;
	ret = nvmem_eth_get_mac_address(dev, mac_addr);
	if (ret == -EPROBEDEFER)
		return ret;
	if (!ret)
		return 0;
	ret = mtd_eth_nvmem_get_mac_address(dev, mac_addr);
	if (!ret)
		return 0;

	return -ENODEV;
