net: ethernet: mv643xx: Fix over zealous checking of_get_mac_address()
There is often not a MAC address available in an EEPROM accessible by Linux with Marvell devices. Instead the bootload has the MAC address and directly programs it into the hardware. So don't consider an error from of_get_mac_address() has fatal. However, the check was added for the case where there is a MAC address in an the EEPROM, but the EEPROM has not probed yet, and -EPROBE_DEFER is returned. In that case the error should be returned. So make the check specific to this error code.
