Some old IPs do not provide the hardware feature register. On these IPs, this register is read 0x00000000. In old driver version, this feature was handled but a regression came with the commitf10a6a3541("stmmac: rework get_hw_feature function"). Indeed, this commit removes the return value in dma->get_hw_feature(). This return value was used to indicate the validity of retrieved information and used later on in stmmac_hw_init() to override priv->plat data if this hardware feature were valid. This patch restores the return code in ->get_hw_feature() in order to indicate the hardware feature validity and override priv->plat data only if this hardware feature is valid.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
