nixge: fix mac address error handling again
The change to eth_hw_addr_set() caused gcc to correctly spot a bug that was introduced in an earlier incorrect fix: In file included from include/linux/etherdevice.h:21, from drivers/net/ethernet/ni/nixge.c:7: In function '__dev_addr_set', inlined from 'eth_hw_addr_set' at include/linux/etherdevice.h:319:2, inlined from 'nixge_probe' at drivers/net/ethernet/ni/nixge.c:1286:3: include/linux/netdevice.h:4648:9: error: 'memcpy' reading 6 bytes from a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overread] 4648 | memcpy(dev->dev_addr, addr, len); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As nixge_get_nvmem_address() can return either NULL or an error pointer, the NULL check is wrong, and we can end up reading from ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP), which gcc knows to contain zero readable bytes. Make the function always return an error pointer again but fix the check to match that.
