[PATCH v3] usb: gadget: ether: Fix MAC address parsing

[Stefan Agner]

MAC addresses can be written without leading zeros. A popular
example is libc's ether_ntoa_r function which creates such
MAC addresses.

Example:
00:14:3d:0f:ff:fe can be written as 0:14:3d:f:ff:fe

The function get_ether_addr potentially also parsed past the
end of the user provided string. Use the opportunity and fix
the function to never parse beyond the end of the string while
allowing MAC addresses with and without leading zeros. Also
corner cases such as 00:14:3d:0f:ff:0 + new-line character
are parsed correctly.

Changes since v2:
- Fix parameter description
- Return with error if invalid charaters are part of the string
