>  In function ‘memcpy’,

>      inlined from ‘smsc75xx_bind’ at drivers/net/usb/smsc75xx.c:1501:2:
>  ./include/linux/string.h:355:9: warning: argument 2 null where non-null expected [-Wnonnull]
>    return __builtin_memcpy(p, q, size);
>           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>  drivers/net/usb/smsc75xx.c: In function ‘smsc75xx_bind’:
>  ./include/linux/string.h:355:9: note: in a call to built-in function ‘__builtin_memcpy’

> I've replaced the offending memcpy with ether_addr_copy, because I'm
> 100% sure, that of_get_mac_address can't return NULL as it returns valid
