Not sure what you mean, eth_platform_get_mac_address() takes the
address as an argument. I think what you want is a consolidated
nvmem_get_mac_address + eth_platform_get_mac_address that takes a
device, which would have no requirement of the bus_type at all.
Sure. What I meant was the following:
eth_get_mac_address(struct net_device *ndev)
vs.
eth_get_mac_address(struct device *dev, u8 *mac_buf)
The first would assume the destination is ndev->dev_addr (which
is true for most of the calls, but not all).
