I've sent patch to fix other comments except this one.

About nvmem,I've been thinking about it for a long time already, but in our case
MAC address is encoded in eFuse register in a different way for different SoCs.

So even if I'll try to use nvmem and define some MAC cell:

	efuse: efuse {
		compatible = "...";
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <1>;

		eth_mac: eth_mac@34 {
			reg = <0x34 0x10>;
		};
	};

	portX {
		...
		nvmem-cells = <&eth_mac>;
		nvmem-cell-names = "mac-address";
	};

the of_get_mac_address() will finally call
   nvmem->reg_read(priv, offset, val, bytes);

and at this point nvmem driver will have no knowledge about the type of the cell
(MAC address), so no decoding can not be done and returned mac will be incorrect.

Not sure how to proceed here. One of the ways is to pass cell info in
struct nvmem_device .reg_read()/.reg_write() callbacks, cell name could be use
to perform some actions.

Another thing which need to be considered is - MAC can be assigned per port,
so dev->of_node != port_of_node (and of_get_mac_addr_nvmem() will fail).
