Marcin Wojtas babe2dbb28 device property: Introduce fwnode_get_mac_address()
Until now there were two almost identical functions for
obtaining MAC address - of_get_mac_address() and, more generic,
device_get_mac_address(). However it is not uncommon,
that the network interface is represented as a child
of the actual controller, hence it is not associated
directly to any struct device, required by the latter
routine.

This commit allows for getting the MAC address for
children nodes in the ACPI world by introducing a new function -
fwnode_get_mac_address(). This commit also changes
device_get_mac_address() routine to be its wrapper, in order
to prevent unnecessary duplication.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
