Some NVMEM devices have text based cells. In such cases MAC is stored in
a XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX format. Use mac_pton() to parse such data and
support those NVMEM cells. This is required to support e.g. a very
popular U-Boot and its environment variables.

Commit 406f42fa0d ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount
of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look
up. To maintain netdev->dev_addr in this tree we need to make all
the writes to it got through appropriate helpers.
There are roughly 40 places where netdev->dev_addr is passed
as the destination to a of_get_mac_address() call. Add a helper
which takes a dev pointer instead, so it can call an appropriate
helper.
Note that of_get_mac_address() already assumes the address is
6 bytes long (ETH_ALEN) so use eth_hw_addr_set().

Rob suggests to move of_net.c from under drivers/of/ somewhere
