[PATCH net-next] net: stmmac: failure to probe without MAC interface specified

Alexander Stein reports that commit a014c35556b9 ("net: stmmac: clarify
difference between "interface" and "phy_interface"") caused breakage,
because plat->mac_interface will never be negative. Fix this by using
the "rc" temporary variable in stmmac_probe_config_dt().

I don't think the net tree is up to date with the net-next, so this
patch needs applying to net-next preferably before the pull request
to fix a regression.

Thanks.
