[PATCH net-next] net: stmmac: Fix kernel panic due to NULL pointer dereference of fpe_cfg

From: Mohammad Athari Bin Ismail <mohammad.athari.ismail@xxxxxxxxx>

In this patch, "net: stmmac: support FPE link partner hand-shaking
procedure", priv->plat->fpe_cfg wouldn`t be "devm_kzalloc"ed if
dma_cap->frpsel is 0 (Flexible Rx Parser is not supported in SoC) in
tc_init(). So, fpe_cfg will be remain as NULL and accessing it will cause
kernel panic.

To fix this, move the "devm_kzalloc"ing of priv->plat->fpe_cfg before
dma_cap->frpsel checking in tc_init(). Additionally, checking of
priv->dma_cap.fpesel is added before calling stmmac_fpe_link_state_handle()
as only FPE supported SoC is allowed to call the function.

Below is the kernel panic dump reported by Marek Szyprowski
