On Device Tree platforms, it is customary to be able to set the MAC
address via the Device Tree, as it is often stored in system firmware.
This is particularly relevant for Apple ARM64 platforms, where this
information comes from system configuration and passed through by the
bootloader into the DT.

Implement support for this by fetching the platform MAC address and
adding or replacing the macaddr= property in nvram. This becomes the
dongle's default MAC address.

On platforms with an SROM MAC address, this overrides it. On platforms
without one, such as Apple ARM64 devices, this is required for the
firmware to boot (it will fail if it does not have a valid MAC at all).

I usually check for trivial flags before calling more expensive
functions because it's more efficient in the common case. Obviously here
performance doesn't matter though.

What do you mean by implicit format string? The format string is at the
top of the file and its length is right next to it, which makes it
harder for them to accidentally fall out of sync.

When I read the above code I feel uncomfortable because no-one can see
(without additional action and more reading and checking) if it's
correct or not. This is potential to be error prone.

It is not an argument. Just you may do the same in the code directly
and more explicitly:

Also you don't check the return code of snprintf which means that you
don't care about the result, which seems to me wrong approach. If you
don't care about the result, so it means it's not very important,
right?

The point is that BRCMF_FW_MACADDR_LEN and BRCMF_FW_MACADDR_FMT need to
be in sync, and BRCMF_FW_MACADDR_LEN is used in two different places. If
I inline the format string into the code, someone could change it
without changing the length, or changing the length inline only next to
the format string. Then we overflow the NVRAM buffer because the
allocation is not sized properly.

By having them as defines, it is obvious that they go together, and if
one changes the other one has to change too, and the nvram allocation
can't end up improperly sized as long as they are kept in sync.

That snprintf can never fail as long as the format string/length are in
sync. I'll make it BUG_ON(... != size), so it complains loudly if
someone screws up the format string in the future.

What overrides what. Can you elaborate a bit?

The behavior seems to be:

- Use the NVRAM MAC address, if any
- Use the SROM MAC address, if any
- Fail to boot

So a platform with a module containing a MAC address may choose to
override it using the DT mechanism with this patch. This is consistent
with the behavior of other drivers implementing platform MAC support.
