The 'max_rx_pktlen' value was previously read from hardware, which was
set by the running firmware. This caused confusion due to different
meanings of 'MAX_MTU'. This patch updates the 'max_rx_pktlen' to the
maximum value that the NFP NIC can support. The 'max_mtu' value that is
read from hardware, is assigned to the 'dev_info->max_mtu' variable.
If more layer 2 metadata must be used, the firmware can be updated to
report a smaller 'max_mtu' value.
The constant defined for NFP_FRAME_SIZE_MAX is derived for the maximum
supported buffer size of 10240, minus 136 bytes that is reserved by the
hardware and another 56 bytes reserved for expansion in firmware. This
results in a usable maximum packet length of 10048 bytes.
