Hi Frank

Don't change to MTU from the default. Anybody using this interface for
non-DSA traffic expects the default MTU. DSA will change it as needed.

No need to set the minimum. ether_setup() will initialize it.

I assume this is enough to make the DSA warning go away, but it is the
true max? I have a similar patch for the FEC driver which i should
post sometime. Reviewing the FEC code and after some testing, i found
the real max was 2K - 64.
