Actually, I'm not checking for errors when I check for all zeros. I'm checking
for a situation where the property exists in the device tree, but it has not
been initialized by U-Boot.
Some versions of U-Boot only update the local-mac-address property, but some
device trees have both mac-address and local-mac-address in them. In this case,
mac-address will be all zeros, and the MAC address will be in local-mac-address.
