This is what the second patch for davinci_emac in this series does. I
agree that this should become more generic at some point - we should
probably have a routine somewhere in net that would try to get the MAC
address from all possible sources (nvmem, of etc.). This is somewhat
related to the work I want to do on nvmem to make the at24 setup()
callback more generic.

Unfortunately we don't have it yet and I will not have time to work on
it before v4.20 so if there are no serious objections, I'd like to get
this series merged for v4.19 and then we can refactor the MAC reading
later.

How does it sound?
