There are other MAC parsing code:
	drivers/net/failsafe/failsafe_args.c - fs_get_mac_addr_arg()
	drivers/net/memif/rte_eth_memif.c - memif_set_mac()
	drivers/net/vdev_netvsc/vdev_netvsc.c - vdev_netvsc_netvsc_probe()
	drivers/net/virtio/virtio_user/virtio_user_dev.c - parse_mac()
Should they be replaced?
