I thought about this too, but...

This isn't the only thing missing. To handle the second MAC address via
NMEM, we would need to add unaligned read/write support to the OCOTP
driver. The currently used regmap_read/write_bulk API does only work
with register aligned accesses. The benefit of NVMEM didn't look that
tempting anymore when looking at the cost of the necessary OCOTP driver
changes, so I choose to go with the more minimal change.

Lucas
