net: stmmac: fix get_hw_feature() on old hardware

Browse source 
Some old IPs do not provide the hardware feature register.
On these IPs, this register is read 0x00000000.

In old driver version, this feature was handled but a regression came
with the commit f10a6a3541 ("stmmac: rework get_hw_feature function").
Indeed, this commit removes the return value in dma->get_hw_feature().
This return value was used to indicate the validity of retrieved
information and used later on in stmmac_hw_init() to override
priv->plat data if this hardware feature were valid.

This patch restores the return code in ->get_hw_feature() in order
to indicate the hardware feature validity and override priv->plat
data only if this hardware feature is valid.
