[PATCH v6 08/12] net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: fix RX data corruption issue

Also set bit 12 when setting up MAC MCR, as MediaTek SDK did the same
change stating:
"If without this patch, kernel might receive invalid packets that are
corrupted by GMAC."[1]
This fixes issues with <= 1G speed where we could previously observe
about 30% packet loss while the bad packet counter was increasing.
Unfortunately the meaning of bit 12 is not documented anywhere in SDK
code or datasheets.
