Should also use is_broadcast_ether_addr and is_zero_ether_addr

It looks more like the rewrite is incorrect
as np is tested before of_get_property

It could be written something like:

	if (is_broadcast_ether_addr(mac) || is_zero_ether_addr(mac)) {
		bool assigned = false;

		if (np) {
			addr = of_get_property(np, "local-mac-address", &len);
			if (len == ETH_ALEN) {
				memcpy(mac_addr, addr, ETH_ALEN);
				assigned = true;
			}
		}
		if (!assigned) {
			mac_addr[0] = 0x00;
			mac_addr[1] = ...
		}
	}
