[PATCH v2 5/8] net: of_net: Add of_get_nvmem_eui48() helper for EUI-48 lookup

Factor out the common NVMEM EUI-48 retrieval logic from
of_get_mac_address_nvmem() into a new of_get_nvmem_eui48() helper that
accepts the NVMEM cell name as a parameter. This allows other subsystems
(e.g. Bluetooth) to reuse the same lookup-validate-copy pattern with a
different cell name, without duplicating code.
of_get_mac_address_nvmem() is updated to call of_get_nvmem_eui48() with
"mac-address", preserving its existing behavior.
