On this Cisco MX60W, u-boot sets the local-mac-address property. Unfortunately by default, the MAC is wrong and is actually located on a UBI partition. Which means nvmem needs to be used to grab it. In the case where that fails, EMAC fails to initialize instead of generating a random MAC as many other drivers do. Match behavior with other drivers to have a working ethernet interface.
