[PATCH] [net/ethernet] arc_emac: Add error handling in emac_rockchip_probe

This patch introduces error handling for the of_match_node call within
the emac_rockchip_probe. Previously, there was no check for the return
value of of_match_node, which could result in improper behavior if the
device tree match was unsuccessful.

Although the error addressed by this patch may not occur in the current
environment, I still suggest implementing these error handling routines
if the function is not highly time-sensitive. As the environment evolves
or the code gets reused in different contexts, there's a possibility that
these errors might occur. Addressing them now can prevent potential
debugging efforts in the future, which could be quite resource-intensive.
