The FEC allocates 2K buffers, but looses some of it due to
alignment. It can however support an MTU bigger than the default. This
is particularly interesting when used in combination with Ethernet
switches supporting DSA, which have extra headers. The DSA core will
try to increase the MTU to support these extra headers. If the max
size defaults to that of standard Ethernet we get a warning. By
setting the max to what the driver actually supports, we avoid this
warning.
