When Tx/Rx FIFO size is not specified in advance, the driver checks if
the value is zero and sets the hardware capability value in functions
where that value is used.

Consolidate the check and settings into function stmmac_hw_init() and
remove redundant other statements.

If FIFO size is zero and the hardware capability also doesn't have upper
limit values, return with an error message.

This patch breaks qemu's stmmac emulation, for example for
npcm750-evb. The error message is:
stmmaceth f0804000.eth: Can't specify Rx FIFO size

Hi Guenter

Please could you try the patch here:

Yes, that works.

Thanks, and sorry for the noise.
