[PATCH 1/4] net: add ethaddr sequence handling

[Ahmad Fatoum]

Instead of storing every MAC address in full, boards may elect
to store a base address and increment it N times. Add a helper
to iterate over such an Ethernet address sequence. Example usage:

  const u8 *eth_addr;
  u8 eth_base[ETH_ALEN] = "\x00\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05";
  int i = 0, eth_count = 4;

  for_each_seq_ethaddr(eth_addr, eth_base, &eth_count)
          eth_register_ethaddr(i++, eth_addr);
