It's common practice to store MAC addresses for network interfaces into
nvmem devices. However the code to actually do this in the kernel lacks,
so this patch adds of_get_nvmem_mac_address() for drivers to obtain the
address from an nvmem cell provider.
This is particulary useful on devices where the ethernet interface cannot
be configured by the bootloader, for example because it's in an FPGA.

Add a helper function which allows getting the struct net_device pointer
associated with a given struct device_node pointer. This is useful for
instance for DSA Ethernet devices not backed by a platform_device, but a PCI
device.
Since we need to access net_class which is not accessible outside of
net/core/net-sysfs.c, this helper function is also added here and gated
with CONFIG_OF_NET.
Network devices initialized with SET_NETDEV_DEV() are also taken into
account by checking for dev->parent first and then falling back to
checking the device pointer within struct net_device.

of_get_mac_address() and of_get_phy_mode() are only provided if OF_NET
is configured. While most callers check for the define, not all do, and those
who do require #ifdef around the code. For those who don't, the missing check
can result in errors such as
arch/powerpc/sysdev/tsi108_dev.c:107:3: error: implicit declaration of
function 'of_get_mac_address' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
arch/powerpc/sysdev/mv64x60_dev.c:253:2: error: implicit declaration of
function 'of_get_mac_address' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
Provide empty functions if OF_NET is not configured.
This is safe because all callers do check the return values.

There are two identical implementations of of_get_mac_address(), one
each in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_parse.c and
arch/microblaze/kernel/prom_parse.c. Move this function to a new
common file of_net.{c,h} and adjust all the callers to include the new
header.
