[PATCH RFC net-next 07/10] net: stmmac: limit MAC .debug() to dwmac1000 and dwmac4

Avoid a bare test against snpsver which has multiple different number
spaces depending on the core type by testing for core types that
implement the .debug() method. This documents that these statistics
are only available on dwmac1000 and dwmac4 cores.
