of/net: Move of_get_mac_address() to a common source file.

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.

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