Since commit adeef3e321 ("net: constify netdev->dev_addr") the bmac
driver no longer builds with the following errors (pmac32_defconfig):
linux/drivers/net/ethernet/apple/bmac.c: In function ‘bmac_probe’:
linux/drivers/net/ethernet/apple/bmac.c:1287:20: error: assignment of read-only location ‘*(dev->dev_addr + (sizetype)j)’
1287 | dev->dev_addr[j] = rev ? bitrev8(addr[j]): addr[j];
| ^
Fix it by making the modifications to a local macaddr variable and then
passing that to eth_hw_addr_set().
We don't use the existing addr variable because the bitrev8() would
mutate it, but it is already used unreversed later in the function.

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.
