Christian Lamparter 608baf44c6 bcm53xx: MR32: read mac-address from eeprom
Meraki wrote the ethernet MAC-address of the device
onto the eeprom (AT24C64) at the fixed location 0x66
to 0x6C. Let's fetch it from there.

Subject: net: bgmac-bcma: handle deferred probe error due to mac-address
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Due to the inclusion of nvmem handling into the mac-address getter
function of_get_mac_address() by
commit d01f449c008a ("of_net: add NVMEM support to of_get_mac_address")
it is now possible to get a -EPROBE_DEFER return code. Which did cause
bgmac to assign a random ethernet address.
This exact issue happened on my Meraki MR32. The nvmem provider is
an EEPROM (at24c64) which gets instantiated once the module
driver is loaded... This happens once the filesystem becomes available.
With this patch, bgmac_probe() will propagate the -EPROBE_DEFER error.
Then the driver subsystem will reschedule the probe at a later time.
