Does it fit into u16?

Isn't it "nicer" with some constant (#define MAX_GSO_FRAME_SIZE ...)?

Why not more consistent names, e.g.:
dev->gso_max_size;
sk_gso_max_size;
netif_set_gso_max_size()
(GSO_MAX_SIZE)
or
dev->max_gso_frame_size;
sk_max_gso_frame_size;
netif_set_max_gso_frame_size()
(MAX_GSO_FRAME_SIZE)
etc.?
