On da850-evm board we can read the MAC address from MTD. It's currently
done in the relevant board file, but we want to get rid of all the MAC
reading callbacks from the board file (SPI and NAND). Move the reading
of the MAC address from SPI to the emac driver's probe function.

What about the case when MTD is compiled as a module?
