[PATCH net] net: ixp4xx_eth: handle probe deferral from of_get_mac_address()

[Rosen Penev <rosenp@gmail.com>]

ixp4xx_of_get_platdata() returns NULL on failure, which the probe converts
to -ENODEV, discarding the real cause of the failure. Return ERR_PTR()
with the appropriate error so callers can distinguish cases such as
missing DT properties (-EINVAL) and, importantly, handle -EPROBE_DEFER
from of_get_mac_address().

Fixes: 95aafe911db6 ("net: ethernet: ixp4xx: Support device tree probing")
