stmmac: parameters auto-tuning through HW cap reg
New GMAC devices (newer than the databook 3.50a) have the HW capability register that provides which features are actually supported by the hardware. On old devices many information have to be passed through the platform, for example: enhanced descriptor structure, TX COE etc. These are mandatory to properly configure the driver. This remains still valid because the driver has to support old Synopsys devices but now it's also able to override them using the values from the HW capability register if supported.
