Consider:
So introduce maximum Rx buffer size. It does not enforce anything;
its sole purpose is to inform the user of possible memory waste.

Consider: Added maximum Rx buffer size reporting.

Consider: The value is not enforced. It's a hint for the application
to optimise mbuf size on mempool allocation. If the driver does not
restrict the maximum buffer size, reported value will be UINT32_MAX.

Other than that,

Thank you.
