stmmac: s32: enable support for Multi-IRQ mode

This patch enables Multi-IRQ mode for the S32 DWMAC driver when both
multi-queue and per-queue IRQs are configured. The driver now selects
between Multi-IRQ and MAC IRQ modes based on device tree configuration.

Should these checks be "> 0" instead of ">= 0"?

stmmac_get_platform_resources() initializes the res structure with
memset(0), then only writes positive IRQ values when per-queue IRQs are
found in the device tree. If no "rx-queue-0" or "tx-queue-0" interrupt
names are defined, rx_irq[0] and tx_irq[0] remain 0 from the memset.

Since 0 >= 0 evaluates to true, this condition will enable Multi-IRQ
mode even when no per-queue IRQs are available. The commit message states
that "queue based IRQs are set" is a prerequisite, but the current check
does not properly verify this.
