This is a bit confusing why you said no functional change. At first my
thought was that dev->mtu could easily be smaller than the maximum MTU.
(thats why its configurable after all?). But actually the diff context
cuts off a few lines that are extremely relevant:

We assign dev->mtu here to QCAFRM_MAX_MTU

And then use it here.

Makes sense to use the constant directly.
It might have helped to have a bit more of this context in the commit
message, but its still a good cleanup.
