Yes, it can be writen as a C function.
We just follow other implementation in the drivers/net/smc91x.h

start at line 1156 of

#ifndef SMC_GET_MAC_ADDR
#define SMC_GET_MAC_ADDR(addr)                                          \
        do {                                                            \
                unsigned int __v;                                       \
                __v = SMC_inw( ioaddr, ADDR0_REG );                     \
                addr[0] = __v; addr[1] = __v >> 8;                      \
                __v = SMC_inw( ioaddr, ADDR1_REG );                     \
                addr[2] = __v; addr[3] = __v >> 8;                      \
                __v = SMC_inw( ioaddr, ADDR2_REG );                     \
                addr[4] = __v; addr[5] = __v >> 8;                      \
        } while (0)
#endif

If you think this is necessary, we may rewrite it in C function.

Thanks
