[PATCH v4] powerpc: add of_get_mac_address and update fsl_soc.c to use it

[Timur Tabi]

Add function of_get_mac_address(), which obtains the best MAC address to use
from the device tree by checking various properties in order.  The order is:
'mac-address', then 'local-mac-address', then 'address'.  It skips properties
that contain invalid MAC addresses, which were probably not initialized
by U-Boot.

Update gfar_of_init() and fs_enet_of_init() in fsl_soc.c to call
of_get_mac_address().

After this patch is applied, the next step is to update the various
OF-enabled Ethernet drivers to use of_get_mac_address().
