Never do success handling.  Always error handling.  Otherwise the code
is indent a lot and the error handling is far from the call.

Instead of handling the error we dereference the error pointer here.

Maybe this?

	if (!addr) {
		nvmem = nvmem_cell_get(dev, "mac-address");
		if (PTR_ERR(nvmem) == -EPROBE_DEFER)
			return -EPROBE_DEFER;
		if (IS_ERR(nvmem))
			return -ENODEV;
		addr = nvmem_cell_read(nvmem, &alen);
		if (IS_ERR(addr))
			return PTR_ERR(addr);
		if (alen != ETH_ALEN) {
			kfree(addr);
			return -ENODEV;
		}
		ether_addr_copy(addrbuf, addr);
		kfree(addr);
		addr = addrbuf;
	}
	if (!is_valid_ether_addr(addr))
		return -ENODEV;
	ether_addr_copy(mac_addr, addr);
	return 0;
