Somehow i was convinced it didn't build on 4.4.x... can you pick it up?

    lan78xx: Read MAC address from DT if present
    
    There is a standard mechanism for locating and using a MAC address from
    the Device Tree. Use this facility in the lan78xx driver to support
    applications without programmed EEPROM or OTP. At the same time,
    regularise the handling of the different address sources.
