From: Peter Fink <pf...@christ-es.de>
I adopted the feature to pass the MAC address through device tree from asix_devices.c (introduced in 03fc5d4) to ax88179-based devices. Please have a look if this patch can be accepted. I introduced a new function to avoid code duplication, but I'm not perfectly satisfied with the function name. Suggestions welcome. I'm not totally sure if the use of net->dev_addr and net->perm_addr was correct in the first place or if my understanding is lacking some bits. But I kept the existing behavior as it is working as expected. Patch tested with 4.19, but applies cleanly on net-next.
