From: Matthew Hagan <mnhagan88@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 763716a55cb1f480ffe1a9702e6b5d9ea1a80a24 ] This patch is a replication of Christian Lamparter's "net: bgmac-bcma: handle deferred probe error due to mac-address" patch for the bgmac-platform driver [1]. As is the case with the bgmac-bcma driver, this change is to cover the scenario where the MAC address cannot yet be discovered due to reliance on an nvmem provider which is yet to be instantiated, resulting in a random address being assigned that has to be manually overridden.
