[PATCH net] net: airoha: keep PPE offload when NPU refuses flow stats

From: Chad Monroe <chad at monroe.io>

With flow stats enabled, PPE offload setup requests flow statistics
from the NPU. If the running NPU firmware does not support flow
counters, the request fails and the current setup path aborts PPE
offload.

Treat flow statistics as an optional capability so that a failure to
set up the counters does not prevent normal PPE offload. Record
whether flow statistics are available and continue PPE initialization
when the NPU refuses the flow-statistics request.

Also treat a zero NPU statistics address returned by the firmware as a
refusal. A zero address does not provide a usable counter region and
must not be passed to the address mapping path.

When flow statistics are unavailable, PPE continues to operate
without NPU flow counters while retaining normal offload functionality.

This combines the original SmartRG/Airoha fixes for:
- keeping PPE offload active when the NPU refuses flow statistics
- treating a zero NPU statistics address as a flow-statistics refusal

Based on the original SmartRG/Airoha work by Chad Monroe:
5ce96ab ("SDG-9458: keep PPE offload when NPU refuses flow stats")
0ad8528 ("SDG-9458: airoha: treat a zero NPU stats address as a refusal")
Fixes: b81e0f2b58be ("net: airoha: Add FLOW_CLS_STATS callback support")
