Some devices provide the Wi-Fi MAC address through firmware instead of
storing a valid address in the chip efuse.

Try to read the MAC address from firmware before falling back to a
randomly generated address.

Changes in v2:
- Fix the undeclared mac_ret issue by checking
  device_get_mac_address() directly.

Some devices provide the Wi-Fi MAC address through firmware instead of
storing a valid address in the Wi-Fi chip efuse.

This is the case on the Xiaomi Mi Box 4, which uses an Amlogic S905L
SoC and an RTL8723DS Wi-Fi chip. The Wi-Fi MAC address is stored in the
S905L efuse rather than the RTL8723DS efuse and is provided to the
device through firmware.

Try to read the MAC address from firmware before falling back to a
randomly generated address.
