[PATCH net-next] net: ixp4xx_eth: Specify min/max MTU

[Linus Walleij]

As we don't specify the MTU in the driver, the framework
will fall back to 1500 bytes and this doesn't work very
well when we try to attach a DSA switch:

  eth1: mtu greater than device maximum
  ixp4xx_eth c800a000.ethernet eth1: error -22 setting
  MTU to 1504 to include DSA overhead

I checked the developer docs and the hardware can actually
do really big frames, so update the driver accordingly.

Sorry Paolo, this is the latest version of this patch, which sadly changed
Subject in the process:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230928-ixp4xx-eth-mtu-v3-1-cb18eaa0edb9@linaro.org/

If it causes trouble for you to replace the patch I can rebase
this work on top of your branch, just tell me.

Yours,
Linus Walleij

Yes, please! Sorry about the mess, we're a bit backlogged after we
all went to Kernel Recipes :(

Ouch, my bad :(

The change of subject baffled both me and patchwork. As I process the
backlog fifo, and was unable to reach the most recent versions due to
the backlog size, I missed the newer revisions.

In the future, please try to avoid subject change. If the subject chane
is needed, please explicitly mark the old version as superseded, it
will help us a lot, thanks!

It's chill, I already rebased and resent the patch, it's life.

OK in patchwork I guess, I don't understand that tool very well otherwise
I would have done it right, I'll try not to confuse it more.
