The commit "13bcd440f2ff nvmem: core: verify cell's raw_len" caused an
extension of the "mac-address" cell from 6 to 8 bytes due to word_size
of 4 bytes.
Thus, the required byte swap for the mac-address of the full buffer length,
caused an trucation of the read mac-address.
From the original address 70:B3:D5:14:E9:0E to 00:00:70:B3:D5:14
After swapping only the first 6 bytes, the mac-address is correctly passed
to the upper layers.
Fixes: 13bcd440f2ff ("nvmem: core: verify cell's raw_len")

suggested commit message:
The commit "13bcd440f2ff nvmem: core: verify cell's raw_len" caused an
extension of the "mac-address" cell from 6 to 8 bytes due to word_size
of 4 bytes. This led to a required byte swap of the full buffer length,
which caused truncation of the mac-address when read.
Previously, the mac-address was incorrectly truncated from 70:B3:D5:14:E9:0E
to 00:00:70:B3:D5:14.
Fix the issue by swapping only the first 6 bytes to correctly pass the
mac-address to the upper layers.
