Russell King's commit de696c63c1dc ("net: stmmac: socfpga: convert to
use phy_interface") replaced mac_interface with phy_interface in
socfpga_get_plat_phymode(), noting that no upstream DTS files set the
"mac-mode" property, making the two values identical.

The Agilex5 SoCDK TSN Config2 board is an exception: its gmac1 TSN
port uses GMII internally in the MAC while the PHY-side interface is
RGMII, so mac-mode and phy-mode differ. Without restoring mac_interface
support, the MAC is configured with RGMII instead of GMII, causing
connectivity failures on this board.

Add socfpga_of_get_mac_mode() to read the optional "mac-mode" DT
property and store it in a new mac_interface field. When the property
is absent, mac_interface falls back to phy_interface, preserving
the existing behaviour for all other boards.
