[PATCH] Check mac-address first in fsl_soc.c

The mac-address property in the device tree should be checked first,
before local-mac-address.  This is because mac-address contains the most
recent MAC address, whereas local-mac-address is the default address.
Depending on the platform and the version of U-Boot, U-Boot will set
one or the other, or both.

This patch updates gfar_of_init() and fs_enet_of_init() to conform to
this order.  It skips a property if it doesn't exist or if it contains
an all-zero MAC address.  This patch also adds some NULL-pointer checking
to make sure there are no panics if no MAC address has been passed.
