ibmvnic: Fix initial MTU settings
In the current driver, the MTU is set to the maximum value capable for the backing device. This decision turned out to be a mistake as it led to confusion among users. The expected initial MTU value used for other IBM vNIC capable operating systems is 1500, with the maximum value (9000) reserved for when Jumbo frames are enabled. This patch sets the MTU to the default value for a net device. It also corrects a discrepancy between MTU values received from firmware, which includes the ethernet header length, and net device MTU values. Finally, it removes redundant min/max MTU assignments after device initialization. Signed-off-by: Thomas Falcon <tlfalcon@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
