Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount
of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look
up. To maintain netdev-&gt;dev_addr in this tree we need to make all
the writes to it got through appropriate helpers.

There is a handful of drivers which pass netdev-&gt;dev_addr as
the destination buffer to eth_platform_get_mac_address().
Add a helper which takes a dev pointer instead, so it can call
an appropriate helper.

fwnode_get_mac_address() and device_get_mac_address()
return a pointer to the buffer that was passed to them
on success or NULL on failure. None of the callers
care about the actual value, only if it's NULL or not.

These semantics differ from of_get_mac_address() which
returns an int so to avoid confusion make the device
helpers return an errno.

<title>Revert "net: dsa: Allow drivers to filter packets they can decode source port from"</title>

This reverts commit cc1939e4b3aaf534fb2f3706820012036825731c.

Currently 2 classes of DSA drivers are able to send/receive packets
directly through the DSA master:
- drivers with DSA_TAG_PROTO_NONE
- sja1105

Now that sja1105 has gained the ability to perform traffic termination
even under the tricky case (VLAN-aware bridge), and that is much more
functional (we can perform VLAN-aware bridging with foreign interfaces),
there is no reason to keep this code in the receive path of the network
core. So delete it.

of_get_mac_address() returns a "const void*" pointer to a MAC address.
Lately, support to fetch the MAC address by an NVMEM provider was added.
But this will only work with platform devices. It will not work with
PCI devices (e.g. of an integrated root complex) and esp. not with DSA
ports.

There is an of_* variant of the nvmem binding which works without
devices. The returned data of a nvmem_cell_read() has to be freed after
use. On the other hand the return of_get_mac_address() points to some
static data without a lifetime. The trick for now, was to allocate a
device resource managed buffer which is then returned. This will only
work if we have an actual device.

Change it, so that the caller of of_get_mac_address() has to supply a
buffer where the MAC address is written to. Unfortunately, this will
touch all drivers which use the of_get_mac_address().

Usually the code looks like:

  const char *addr;
  addr = of_get_mac_address(np);
  if (!IS_ERR(addr))
    ether_addr_copy(ndev-&gt;dev_addr, addr);

This can then be simply rewritten as:

  of_get_mac_address(np, ndev-&gt;dev_addr);

Sometimes is_valid_ether_addr() is used to test the MAC address.
of_get_mac_address() already makes sure, it just returns a valid MAC
address. Thus we can just test its return code. But we have to be
careful if there are still other sources for the MAC address before the
of_get_mac_address(). In this case we have to keep the
is_valid_ether_addr() call.

The following coccinelle patch was used to convert common cases to the
new style. Afterwards, I've manually gone over the drivers and fixed the
return code variable: either used a new one or if one was already
available use that. Mansour Moufid, thanks for that coccinelle patch!
