Subject: [PATCH RFC 1/3] dt-bindings: net: Add network-class schema for
 mac-address properties

The ethernet-controller schema specifies "mac-address" and
"local-mac-address" but other network devices such as wireless network
adapters use mac addresses as well.
The Devicetree Specification, Release v0.3 specifies in section 4.3.1
a generic "Network Class Binding" with "address-bits", "mac-address",
"local-mac-address" and "max-frame-size". This schema specifies the
"address-bits" property and moves "local-mac-address" and "mac-address"
over from ethernet-controller.yaml.
The schema currently does not restrict MAC address size based on
address-bits.
