Hello.

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.

The patch is against Grant Likely's 'linux.git' repo's 'devicetree/next' branch.

Thanks for looking at this, I've merged it.

Since you're already playing with this, could you also write a unittest
of of_get_mac_addr()? (drivers/of/unittest.c & drivers/of/unittest-data)

Unfortunately, I'm constantly low on time. Even this patch was done on weekend.

WBR, Sergei
