of_get_mac_address() basically does the same thing thrice, every time with a different property name, so it makes sense to factor out the repetitive code into separate function. While at it, we can start using ETH_ALEN instead of the bare number and drop unnecessary parens around the property length check. The resulting ARM object file is 100 bytes less in size than before the patch.
