[PATCH] sh_eth: add support to change MTU

[PATCH] sh_eth: add support to change MTU

[Niklas Söderlund]

The hardware supports the MTU to be changed and the driver it self is
somewhat prepared to support this. This patch hooks up the callbacks to
be able to change the MTU from user-space.

Based on v4.12-rc1 and tested on Renesas R-Car Koelsch M2.

Test procedure:

1. On host set MTU to something large (9000) was used for this test.

2. On target set MTU to something other then 1500, in this test the max 
   MTU of 1978 is used.

3. Send ping with large payload and observe that it works.

   ping -M do -s 1954 <target>

   The reason for 1954 instead of 1982 is two fold:

   1. On Linux (different on Mac IIRC) the ICMP/ping implementation 
      doesn’t encapsulate the 28 byte ICMP (8) + IP (20).
   2. The driver internally reserve 4 bytes of transmission buffer for 
      an optional VLAN header (4). And since no VLAN is used in this 
      setup the additional 4 bytes can carry data.

4. For extra verification the packet flow is inspected using tcpdump to 
   verify that there is no packet fragmentation.

    One more thing off my back, thanks! :-)
    I'm OK with this patch in principle (but have several nits):

    Somehow I thought it supports jumbo frames but the manual doesn't confirm 
that... ah, that's EtherAVB! :-)

    Undoubtedly... :-)

Hi Sergei,

Thanks for your feedback.

Will update nits and send v2 containing your Acked-by.

Will update in v2.

Yes I did look for that but could not find that for sh_eth :-)

Will fix in v2.
