From: Steve Lin steven.lin1@broadcom.com

[ Upstream commit 2f771399a3a2c371c140ff33544a583c6fbc5fd9 ]

Allows the BCMA version of the bgmac driver to obtain MAC address from the device tree. If no MAC address is specified there, then the previous behavior (obtaining MAC address from SPROM) is used.
