Since stmmac_mtl_configuration is only called with priv->synopsys_id >= DWMAC_CORE_4_00, all older platform never call stmmac_dma_operation_mode.

Re-adding stmmac_dma_operation_mode at its place before 6deee2221e110f6574988120dba6cab7e7313f44 "net: stmmac: prepare dma op mode config for multiple queues" fix my issue.
