[POWERPC] add of_get_mac_address and update fsl_soc.c to use it
Add function of_get_mac_address(), which obtains the best MAC address to use from the device tree by checking various properties in order. The order is: 'mac-address', then 'local-mac-address', then 'address'. It skips properties that contain invalid MAC addresses, which were probably not initialized by U-Boot. Update gfar_of_init() and fs_enet_of_init() in fsl_soc.c to call of_get_mac_address(). Signed-off-by: Timur Tabi <timur@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

1009 * Search the device tree for the best MAC address to use. 'mac-address' is
1010 * checked first, because that is supposed to contain to "most recent" MAC
1011 * address. If that isn't set, then 'local-mac-address' is checked next,
1012 * because that is the default address. If that isn't set, then the obsolete
1013 * 'address' is checked, just in case we're using an old device tree.
1014 *
1015 * Note that the 'address' property is supposed to contain a virtual address of
1016 * the register set, but some DTS files have redefined that property to be the
1017 * MAC address.
1018 *
1019 * All-zero MAC addresses are rejected, because those could be properties that
1020 * exist in the device tree, but were not set by U-Boot. For example, the
1021 * DTS could define 'mac-address' and 'local-mac-address', with zero MAC
1022 * addresses. Some older U-Boots only initialized 'local-mac-address'. In
1023 * this case, the real MAC is in 'local-mac-address', and 'mac-address' exists
1024 * but is all zeros.
