Not sure it is correct. of_get_mac_address() is called when board data doesn't
provide MAC address with expectation that MAC address is defined in DT (usually by u-boot).
Standard DT properties for MAC address "local-mac-address" and "mac-address".

So, you can't just drop it and replace with nvmem.

Two options are here:
1) try to read MAC-address from nvmem then try DT (as it's now)
2) try to read DT then try nvmem [then random MAC | fail]
