In 9d5804662ce1f9bdde0a14c3c40940acbbf09538 , device_get_mac_address was
introduced as a generic way to get MAC addresses from anywhere.
Unfortunately since then, the landscape has changed and the OF version
is required for NVMEM support. The second problem is that with NVMEM
it's possible that it loads after ath10k. For that reason, check for
deferred errors and exit out of probe in such a case.
