common: Fix-up MAC addr in dts by fetching env variable serially
The MAC addresses get fixed in the device tree for "ethernet" nodes is by using trailing number behind "ethernet" found in "/aliases". It may not be necessary for the "ethernet" nodes to be sequential. There can be gaps in between or any node disabled So provide a support to fetch MAC addr sequentially from env and apply them to "ethernet" nodes in the order they appear in device tree only if "ethernet" is not "disabled" Signed-off-by: Prabhakar Kushwaha <prabhakar.kushwaha@nxp.com> Reviewed-by: York Sun <york.sun@nxp.com>
