Clang warns:
drivers/net/ethernet/microchip/sparx5/sparx5_main.c:760:29: warning:
variable 'mac_addr' is uninitialized when used here [-Wuninitialized]
if (of_get_mac_address(np, mac_addr)) {

drivers/net/ethernet/microchip/sparx5/sparx5_main.c:669:14: note:
initialize the variable 'mac_addr' to silence this warning
u8 *mac_addr;

= NULL
1 warning generated.
mac_addr is only used to store the value retrieved from
of_get_mac_address(), which is then copied into the base_mac member of
the sparx5 struct using ether_addr_copy(). It is easier to just use the
base_mac address directly, which avoids the warning and the extra copy.
