drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec_main.c:

/* The FEC stores dest/src/type/vlan, data, and checksum for receive packets.
 *
 * 2048 byte skbufs are allocated. However, alignment requirements
 * varies between FEC variants. Worst case is 64, so round down by 64.
 */
#define PKT_MAXBUF_SIZE         (round_down(2048 - 64, 64))

So i set the max MTU to this.

Yes, i also needed to change the mv88e6xxx driver to implement this
function. These switches do support jumbo frames, so i had some real
code in there, not a dummy function.

The marketing brief for the mt7530 says it supports 1518, 1536, 1552
and 9K jumbo frames. It would be good if you can figure out how to
support that, rather than add a dummy function.
