Many non-DT platforms read the MAC address from EEPROM. Usually it's
either done with callbacks defined in board files or from SoC-specific
ethernet drivers.

In order to generalize this, try to read the MAC from nvmem in
eth_platform_get_mac_address() using a standard lookup name:
"mac-address".

Never do success handling.  Always error handling.  Otherwise the code
is indent a lot and the error handling is far from the call.

Instead of handling the error we dereference the error pointer here.

Maybe this?

	if (!addr) {
		nvmem = nvmem_cell_get(dev, "mac-address");
		if (PTR_ERR(nvmem) == -EPROBE_DEFER)
			return -EPROBE_DEFER;
		if (IS_ERR(nvmem))
			return -ENODEV;
		addr = nvmem_cell_read(nvmem, &alen);
		if (IS_ERR(addr))
			return PTR_ERR(addr);

The problem with doing it this way is... error handling is Hard(tm).
You missed the call to nvmem_cell_put() here.

		if (alen != ETH_ALEN) {
			kfree(addr);

and again here.

			return -ENODEV;
		}
		ether_addr_copy(addrbuf, addr);
		kfree(addr);
		addr = addrbuf;

and here.

	}
	if (!is_valid_ether_addr(addr))
		return -ENODEV;
	ether_addr_copy(mac_addr, addr);
	return 0;

Without checking the semantics, a possible solution to that could be:

	if (!addr) {
		nvmem = nvmem_cell_get(dev, "mac-address");
		if (PTR_ERR(nvmem) == -EPROBE_DEFER)
			return -EPROBE_DEFER;
		if (IS_ERR(nvmem))
			return -ENODEV;
		addr = nvmem_cell_read(nvmem, &alen);
+		nvmem_cell_put(nvmem);
		if (IS_ERR(addr))
			return PTR_ERR(addr);
		if (alen != ETH_ALEN) {
			kfree(addr);
			return -ENODEV;
		}
		ether_addr_copy(addrbuf, addr);
		kfree(addr);
		addr = addrbuf;
	}
	if (!is_valid_ether_addr(addr))
		return -ENODEV;
	ether_addr_copy(mac_addr, addr);
	return 0;

A potential better solution would be to put this code in a separate
function, and then do:

	if (!addr)
		addr = eth_platform_get_nvmem_mac_address(dev, addrbuf);

which returns either NULL or addrbuf depending on whether it failed or
succeeded, which would probably end up with cleaner code.
