[U-Boot] [PATCH] smsc95xx: Use zero length packets when RX fifo is empty

Using NAKs on empty RX fifo for bulk in transfers is the right choice
for a interrupt driven model, but U-Boot uses polling and expects an
immediate answer if there is no incoming packet. Using ZLP Bulk In Response
(BIR) mode avoids unexpected timeouts in the host controller driver.

As ZLP mode is reset default, there is no need to set it.

The current setting results in timeouts in the dwc2 hc driver, if an expected
network response is lost. This is often hidden by incoming broadcast packets,
as these trigger the completion of the bulk in transfer as well.
