No as the mac[] tests are the same as is_<foo>_ether_addr
and there's nothing really objectionable about embedding
the assignment in the if here.

Output from checkpatch is not gospel and can be ignored
whenever appropriate.

I think the below is ok:

if ((is_broadcast_ether_addr(mac) || is_zero_ether_addr(mac)) &&
((addr = of_get_property(np, "local-mac-address", &len)) &&
len == ETH_ALEN))
memcpy(mac_addr, addr, ETH_ALEN);
else
memcpy(mac_addr, ""\x00\xe0\x4c\x87\x00\x00", ETH_ALEN);

Although the last memcpy of a fixed mac address could
probably use eth_random_addr to reduce the likelihood
of mac address collision so maybe

if ((is_broadcast_ether_addr(mac) || is_zero_ether_addr(mac)) &&
((addr = of_get_property(np, "local-mac-address", &len)) &&

len == ETH_ALEN))
memcpy(mac_addr, addr, ETH_ALEN);
else
eth_random_addr(mac_addr);

I'd send 1 patch.
