Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

This patch fixes following warning reported by kbuild test robot:
In function ‘memcpy’,
inlined from ‘smsc75xx_init_mac_address’ at drivers/net/usb/smsc75xx.c:778:3,
inlined from ‘smsc75xx_bind’ at drivers/net/usb/smsc75xx.c:1501:2:
./include/linux/string.h:355:9: warning: argument 2 null where non-null expected [-Wnonnull]
return __builtin_memcpy(p, q, size);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/usb/smsc75xx.c: In function ‘smsc75xx_bind’:
./include/linux/string.h:355:9: note: in a call to built-in function ‘__builtin_memcpy’
I've replaced the offending memcpy with ether_addr_copy, because I'm
100% sure, that of_get_mac_address can't return NULL as it returns valid
pointer or ERR_PTR encoded value, nothing else.
I'm hesitant to just change IS_ERR into IS_ERR_OR_NULL check, as this
would make the warning disappear also, but it would be confusing to
check for impossible return value just to make a compiler happy.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
