[PATCH v2 0/2] Allow generating MAC addresses from machine ID

["Uwe Kleine-König" <uwe@kleine-koenig.org>]

Hello,

this series contains two patches by Ahmad that he send earlier starting
with Message-Id: <20230911155927.3786335-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>.

Patch #1 was already applied back then as 9831b2e5fed8 ("common:
machine_id: support deriving app specific UUIDs").

Changes since (implicit) v1:

 - fix compilation with MACHINE_ID=n (Sascha)
 - fix typo in NET_ETHADDR_FROM_MACHINE_ID helptext (Thorsten)
 - rename of_populate_ethaddr -> populate_ethaddr as it's not about of any more (Sascha)

I kept this check, Ahmad already argued that is should be kept. (I only
swapped the checks to have the static one first which is IMHO more
natural.)

Best regards
