eth: fwnode: add a helper for loading netdev->dev_addr
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->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->dev_addr as
the destination buffer to device_get_mac_address(). Add a helper
which takes a dev pointer instead, so it can call an appropriate
helper.
