This is only setup in the probe function, and then only used when
reading the MAC address to print error messages - which is called
from the probe function. Would it make more sense to pass the struct
device into motorcomm_efuse_read_mac(), especially as it uses
dev_err_probe() which suggests this function can only be called from
the probe path.

Thanks.
