net: stmmac: rk: add SoC specific ->init() method

This commit adds infrastructure for SoC-specific initialization by adding
an init callback to rk_gmac_ops and calling it from rk_gmac_setup().

If ops->init() fails here, does bsp_priv->phy_reset need to be released?

Earlier in rk_gmac_setup(), at line 1610, the code calls:

    bsp_priv->phy_reset = of_reset_control_get(plat->phy_node, NULL);

of_reset_control_get() is not a devm-managed function, so the reset control
would need to be explicitly released with reset_control_put() on error paths.

This new error return happens after phy_reset could have been acquired (when
the device has an integrated PHY), but before the function successfully
returns. If this path is taken, it appears the reset control would be leaked.

Currently no SoC sets ops->init so this path cannot trigger, but when a
future SoC implements this callback, the leak would occur on init failure
for devices with integrated PHYs.
