That is not what i asked. Sometimes with IP you synthesise from VHDL
or Verilog, there are registers which describe which features you have
actually enabled/disabled in the synthesis. Maybe the stmmac has such
a register describing which safety features are actually available in
your specific version of the IP? You could go ask your ASIC engineers.
Or maybe Synopsys can say that there are no such registers.
