From: John Crispin <john@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Many embedded devices have information such as MAC addresses stored
inside MTD devices. This patch allows us to add a property inside a node
describing a network interface. The new property points at a MTD
partition with an offset where the MAC address can be found.
This patch has originated in OpenWrt some time ago, so in order to
consider usefulness of this patch, here are some real-world numbers
which hopefully speak for themselves:
* mtd-mac-address used 497 times in 357 device tree files
* mtd-mac-address-increment used 74 times in 58 device tree files
* mtd-mac-address-increment-byte used 1 time in 1 device tree file

+- mtd-mac-address: specify a MTD partition + offset containing array of 6 bytes
+- mtd-mac-address-increment: specify number by which we should increment the
+ MAC address stored in the MTD partition
+- mtd-mac-address-increment-byte: specify octet/byte(0-5) in the MAC address,

- nvmem-cells: phandle, reference to an nvmem node for the MAC address;
- nvmem-cell-names: string, should be "mac-address" if nvmem is to be used;
- max-speed: number, specifies maximum speed in Mbit/s supported by the device;
