    generic: fix kernel panic on existing mac-address node
    
    Calling free for the OF property can result in a kernel panic, as the
    buffer in question might be referenced elsewhere. Also, it is not
    removed from the tree.
    
    Always allocate a new property and updating the tree with it fixes both
    issues.
    
    Fixes commit 91a52f22a13d ("treewide: backport support for nvmem on non platform devices")
