I apply the following changes to the patch.
1) Initialize errno to 0 before the loop.
2) Use isxdigit instead of isdigit and isalpha, and add a comment.
3) Test errno != 0.
4) Add a terminating NUL check.
5) the MAC address function go in file src/util.c.

Looks good.  A couple nits.
I didn't read the comments the first time.

+            (errno != 0) ||

+            break;
+
+        addr[i] = (unsigned char) result;
+
+        if (*end_ptr != ':') {
+            if (i == 5 && *end_ptr == '\0')
+                return 0;
+
+            break;
+        }

No big deal, but I find this to be more readable:

           if (i == 5 && *end_ptr == '\0')
               return 0;
           if (*end_ptr != ':')
               break;

and with any compiler optimization at all, it's just as efficient.

+        str = end_ptr + 1;
+    }
