Subject: [RFC net-next/wireless-next v1 2/2] ath10k: move device_get_mac_address() and pass errors up the chain

device_get_mac_address() can now return -EPROBE_DEFER.
This has to be passed back to the device subsystem so
the driver will be probed again at a later time.

This was somewhat involved because the best place for this
seemed in ath10k_core_create() right after allocation.
Thing is that ath10k_core_create() was setup to either
return a valid ath10k* instance, or NULL. So each ath10k
implementation has to be modified to account for ERR_PTR.

This introduces a new side-effect: the returned error codes
from ath10k_core_create() will now be passed along. It's no
longer just -ENOMEM.

Note: If device_get_mac_address() didn't get a valid MAC from
either the DT/ACPI, nvmem, etc... the driver will just generate
random MAC (same as it did before).

@Kalle from what I can tell, this is how nvmem-mac could be
done with the existing device_get_mac_address() - at a
different place. The reason for the move was that -EPROBE_DEFER
needs to be returned by the pci/usb/snoc/ahb _probe functions().
This wasn't possible in the old location. As ath10k deferres
the "bring-up" process into a workqueue task which can't return
any errors (it just printk/dev_err them at the end).
Also, When I was asking around about this. The common consensus was
to just post it and see. This is based on net-next + wireless-testing

I was looking for that. Thank you! :-)
(I need to check if this device_get_mac_address() all works
with 5.15-next or not. It's probably easier to wait until
5.16-rc1-wt gets released).

Christian
