The stmmac core supports two interrupt modes, controlled by the
flag STMMAC_FLAG_MULTI_MSI_EN:

- When the flag is set, the driver uses multi-channel IRQ mode (Multi-IRQ).
- Otherwise, a single IRQ line is requested (aka MAC-IRQ):

static int stmmac_request_irq(struct net_device *dev)
{
        /* Request the IRQ lines */
        if (priv->plat->flags & STMMAC_FLAG_MULTI_MSI_EN)
                ret = stmmac_request_irq_multi_msi(dev);
        else
                ret = stmmac_request_irq_single(dev);
}

At present, only PCI drivers (Intel and Loongson) make use of the Multi-IRQ
mode. This concept can be extended to DT-based embedded glue drivers
(dwmac-xxx.c).

This series adds support for reading per-channel IRQs from the DT node and
reuses the existing STMMAC_FLAG_MULTI_MSI_EN flag to enable multi-IRQ
operation in platform drivers.

The final decision if Multi-IRQ gets enabled remains on glue driver
to allow implementing any reguirements/limitions the focused platform
needs.

NXP S32G2/S32G3/S32R SoCs integrate the DWMAC IP with multi-channel
interrupt support. The dwmac-s32.c driver change is provided as an example of
enabling multi-IRQ mode for non-PCI drivers.
