There is a DT property 'snps,multicast-filter-bins' available to
override the default value for a platform however this property is not
taken into consideration in case of xgmac. That being said,
stmmac_platform.c logic can be modified to extend the property use for
xgmac also however the value will be overridden later based on hash
table size read from the HW Feature register. So only zero value will be
usable via DT in that case. Hence I thought of setting it to 0 in the
else part of the code I modified in this patch. If you think I should
extend the DT property for xgmac, I can modify the patch too.
