Subject: [PATCH 4.8 100/125] iwlwifi: check for valid ethernet address provided by OEM

4.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Haim Dreyfuss <haim.dreyfuss@...el.com>

commit a6c934b364948cd4de5bd9ab055bb65206ec70f3 upstream.

In 9000 family products we added an option to let the OEM fuse the
mac address via registers. If these registers are zeroed we use the OTP
address instead. Make sure that the address provided by the OEM is valid
and, if not, fall back to the OTP address as well.

Fixes: commit 17c867bfe89b ("iwlwifi: add support for getting HW address from CSR")
