In 9d5804662ce1f9bdde0a14c3c40940acbbf09538 , device_get_mac_address was introduced as a generic way to get MAC addresses from anywhere. Unfortunately since then, the landscape has changed and the OF version is required for NVMEM support. The second problem is that with NVMEM it's possible that it loads after ath10k. For that reason, check for deferred errors and exit out of probe in such a case.
