    Commit 406f42fa ("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 are roughly 40 places where netdev->dev_addr is passed
    as the destination to a of_get_mac_address() call. Add a helper
    which takes a dev pointer instead, so it can call an appropriate
    helper.
    
    Note that of_get_mac_address() already assumes the address is
    6 bytes long (ETH_ALEN) so use eth_hw_addr_set().
