/*

* By default, we assume that the IEEE address is stored on flash using
|
||||
* little-endian byte order.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* However, some SoCs ship with a different byte order, whereby the first
|
||||
* four bytes are flipped with the four last ones.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Using this address as an example: 00 12 4B 00 01 02 03 04
|
||||
* We expect it stored as: 04 03 02 01 00 4B 12 00
|
||||
* But it is also possible to encounter: 00 4B 12 00 04 03 02 01
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Thus: read locations [3, 2, 1] and if we encounter the TI OUI, flip the
|
||||
* order of the two 4-byte sequences. Each of the 4-byte sequences is still
|
||||
* little-endian.
