net: stmmac: rk: rk3506, rk3528 and kk3588 have rmii_mode in clock register

This patch consolidates RMII mode configuration for rk3506, rk3528, and
rk3588 by moving the rmii_mode bit writes from per-SoC set_to_rmii()
functions into a centralized block in rk_gmac_powerup().

The context above this hunk is relevant. Earlier in rk_gmac_powerup():

    ret = rk_get_phy_intf_sel(bsp_priv->phy_iface);
    ...
    if (bsp_priv->gmac_phy_intf_sel_mask ||
        bsp_priv->gmac_rmii_mode_mask) {
        ...
        ret = regmap_write(bsp_priv->grf, bsp_priv->gmac_grf_reg, val);
        ...
    }

At this point, if the first if-block executed, ret has been overwritten by
regmap_write() and will be 0 on success.

> +				     bsp_priv->clock.rmii_mode_mask);

For RK3588, both gmac_phy_intf_sel_mask and clock.rmii_mode_mask are set.
The first if-block will execute and overwrite ret with the regmap_write()
return value (0 on success).

When this second if-block runs, ret will be 0 rather than the original
PHY_INTF_SEL_RMII value (which is 4). This means ret == PHY_INTF_SEL_RMII
will always evaluate to false for RK3588, causing the rmii_mode bit to be
cleared instead of set when RMII mode is configured.

Should ret be saved before the first if-block and restored here, or should
a separate variable hold the phy interface selection?
