Ansuel Smith 91a52f22a1 treewide: backport support for nvmem on non platform devices
In the current state, nvmem cells are only detected on platform device.
To quickly fix the problem, we register the affected problematic driver
with the of_platform but that is more an hack than a real solution.
Backport from net-next the required patch so that nvmem can work also
with non-platform devices and rework our current patch.
Drop the mediatek and dsa workaround and rework the ath10k patches.
Rework every driver that use the of_get_mac_address api.

Subject: [PATCH] staging: octeon: add net-labels support
With this patch, device name can be set within dts file
in the same way as dsa port can.
Add label to pip interface node to use this feature:
label = "lan0";
