From: Dinh Nguyen <dinguyen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The commit 571dcfde23712b ("stmmac: platform: fix default values of the filter
bins setting") broke support for stmmac probe for all CONFIG_OF platforms.

[ 0.977544] [<c0233b10>] (__driver_attach) from [<c02320fc>] (bus_for_each_dev+0x6c/0xa0)

The reason is that in stmmac_pltfr_probe(), the plat_dat on a CONFIG_OF
platform is NULL until devm_kzalloc() is called to allocate plat_dat.
