v2: modify macb_get_hwaddr_dt() parameter

You'll have to respin these two macb patches, as they don't apply properly
to the net-next tree which is where they should be targetted.

David,

In fact, the patches are designed to be added on top of Jamie's rework of the macb driver that is now in Arnd's "arm-soc" git tree (for-next branch). You discussed with him here:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg118717.html

Should I go this path also or wait for this material to be merged and update on net-next at this time (after 3.3 merge window...)?

Best regards,
