From now, if yoused old DT node, without channel IRQs set,

the driver fails to init with the following error:

[4.925420] s32-dwmac 4033c000.ethernet eth0: stmmac_request_irq_multi_msi: alloc rx-0  MSI -6 (error: -22)

Sorry, but that is not acceptable. You cannot break old DT blobs.

Please reverse the logic. If you find all the needed properties in DT
enable STMMAC_FLAG_MULTI_MSI_EN. If none of the properties are there,
continue using one interrupt, and if only some of the needed
properties are there but some are missing, then you can error out with
EINVAL, because the DT blob is invalid.

Yeh, that was the main reason of marking it as RFC, I was not sure
if I can break old DT blobs or not.

Thanks for answer. I will change the procedure to stay
backward compatible.
