Agilex5 HPS EMAC uses the dwxgmac-3.10a IP, unlike previous socfpga
platforms which use dwmac1000 IP. Due to differences in platform
configuration, Agilex5 requires a distinct setup.

Introduce a setup_plat_dat() callback in socfpga_dwmac_ops to handle
platform-specific setup. This callback is invoked before
stmmac_dvr_probe() to ensure the platform data is correctly
configured. Also, implemented separate setup_plat_dat() callback for
current socfpga platforms and Agilex5.

I"m not familiar with this device (I only have a Cyclone V on hand), does
it still make sense to try to instantiate a Lynx (i.e. Altera TSE) PCS
for that IP ?

AFAIK, yes it is supported by Agilex V device family also.
