Hello,
The Intel i211 LOM PCIe Ethernet controllers' iNVM operates as an OTP
and has no external EEPROM interface [1]. The following allows the
driver to pickup the MAC address from a device tree blob when CONFIG_OF
has been enabled.

Changes V2
- Restrict searching for compatible devices to current pci device.
Changes V3
- Add device tree binding documentation.
Changes V4
- Rebase patch.
Changes V5
- Use eth_platform_get_mac_address() to resolve MAC specified in a dtb.
- Remove now invalid device tree binding documentation specified in V3
und V4.
