thorpej | Some platforms have rules for retrieving the MAC address for an interface beyond what properties exist. For example, a local address maybe be present in a device tree property, but a system-wide property may indicate that it should not be used (in favor of e.g. a singular system MAC addres - LOOKIN' AT YOU, SUNW!).
So, the ether-get-mac-address device call is introduced to handle this situation. Consult it before the standard properites, and if it succeeds, use its result.
