Subject: [PATCH v2] nvmem: imx-ocotp: fix MAC address byte length

The commit "13bcd440f2ff nvmem: core: verify cell's raw_len" caused an
extension of the "mac-address" cell from 6 to 8 bytes due to word_size
of 4 bytes.

Thus, the required byte swap for the mac-address of the full buffer length,
caused an trucation of the read mac-address.
>From the original address 70:B3:D5:14:E9:0E to 00:00:70:B3:D5:14

After swapping only the first 6 bytes, the mac-address is correctly passed
to the upper layers.

Fixes: 13bcd440f2ff ("nvmem: core: verify cell's raw_len")
