Right. Looks like it is already being done since 4.10-rc1 because of
the patches Floated by Jarod Wilson <jarod@...hat.com>.

Will remove this duplicate check!

Again, it is being done by core now since 4.10-rc1.

Supported range of Min and Max MTU should be at the discretion
of the driver. Therefore, initialization looks fine to me.
I could not clearly understand the problem being highlighted
over here. Could you further clarify?

There is a check already in place for this as well since 4.10-rc1.
But perhaps this time there is no change required as it is being taken
care by the core. Thanks to sharp eyes of Jarod.

[...]
if (dev->max_mtu > 0 && new_mtu > dev->max_mtu) {
net_err_ratelimited("%s: Invalid MTU %d requested, hw max %d\n",
dev->name, new_mtu, dev->max_mtu);
[...]
I think I missed this patch entirely so those rest above checks &
assignments were repeated.
Thanks
