What's of_get_mac_address? This is a binding patch. Don't mix Linux
things in it.

Why can't you use local-mac-address or mac-address? Those too can come
from some other source.

So 'nvmem-mac-address' needs to be swapped or it's swapped before
writing? In any case, this belongs in the nvmem provider.

I also don't understand what Andy's do for this, per his commit message "If the MAC address is valid from NVMEM, add new property "nvmem-mac-address" in ethernet node.".
He said this done _DYNAMICALLY_, but I have not found where ""nvmem-mac-address" property been added, and can't find it from ethernet node. So I send out patch first to see if reviewers
can give a hint, or point out this is actually incorrect.

MAC address read from NVMEM cell needs to be swapped. The order of bytes that NVMEM provider provided is fixed, so I think we should swap at the NVMEM consumer side.
It is more reasonable and common add a property in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/nvmem/nvmem-consumer.yaml, and swap the data in nvmem_cell_read() function.
