Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: stmmac: Call xpcs_config_eee_mult_fact() only when xpcs is present

Some dwmac variants such as dwmac_socfpga don't use xpcs but lynx_pcs.

Don't call xpcs_config_eee_mult_fact() in this case, as this causes a
crash at init :

 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000039 when write

 [...]

 Call trace:
  xpcs_config_eee_mult_fact from stmmac_pcs_setup+0x40/0x10c
  stmmac_pcs_setup from stmmac_dvr_probe+0xc0c/0x1244
  stmmac_dvr_probe from socfpga_dwmac_probe+0x130/0x1bc
  socfpga_dwmac_probe from platform_probe+0x5c/0xb0

This targets net-next as the blamed commit is also still in net-next.
