+ * device_get_mac_address - Get the MAC for a given device
+ * @dev: Pointer to the device
+ * @addr: Address of buffer to store the MAC in
+ * @alen: Length of the buffer pointed to by addr, should be ETH_ALEN
+ *
+ * Search the firmware node for the best MAC address to use. 'mac-address' is
+ * checked first, because that is supposed to contain to "most recent" MAC
+ * address. If that isn't set, then 'local-mac-address' is checked next,
+ * because that is the default address. If that isn't set, then the obsolete
+ * 'address' is checked, just in case we're using an old device tree.
+ *
+ * Note that the 'address' property is supposed to contain a virtual address of
+ * the register set, but some DTS files have redefined that property to be the
+ * MAC address.
+ *
+ * All-zero MAC addresses are rejected, because those could be properties that
+ * exist in the firmware tables, but were not updated by the firmware. For
+ * example, the DTS could define 'mac-address' and 'local-mac-address', with
+ * zero MAC addresses. Some older U-Boots only initialized 'local-mac-address'.
+ * In this case, the real MAC is in 'local-mac-address', and 'mac-address'
+ * exists but is all zeros.
