I don't think this works. rx_pkt_buf_len is only set at probe time.

Don't you need to:
 1. Stop device if running
 2. Free existing receive buffers
 3. change rx_pkt_buf_len
 4. Refill restart receiver.

Most devices setup receive ring in open (not probe)
to handle this. It also avoid grabbing memory if device is unused.
