The entire series can be converted to just a few lines of change:

 	plat = devm_stmmac_probe_config_dt(pdev, res.mac);
 	if (IS_ERR(plat)) {
 		err = PTR_ERR(plat);
 		goto disable_clks;
 	}
+
+	if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(plat->axi)) {
+		plat->axi = devm_kzalloc(&pdev->dev, sizeof(*axi), GFP_KERNEL);
+		if (!plat->axi) {
+			ret = -ENOMEM;
+			goto disable_clks;
+		}
+	} /* else memset plat->axi with zeros if you wish */
+
+	plat->axi->axi_wr_osr_lmt = 63;
+	plat->axi->axi_rd_osr_lmt = 63;
+	plat->axi->axi_blen[0] = 256;
 
 	plat->has_xgmac = 1;
 	plat->flags |= STMMAC_FLAG_TSO_EN;
 	plat->pmt = 1;

Please don't overcomplicate the already overcomplicated driver with a
functionality which can be reached by the default one. In this case
the easiest way is to let the generic code work and then
override/replace/fix/etc the retrieved values. Thus there won't be
need in adding the redundant functionality and keep the generic
DT-platform code a bit simpler to read.
