Hi Andrew,
I am updating the status of the patch as "change requested", what is the status
of this patch, will there be a new version?
Is DTS still failing?
Please see a few comments below if there will be new version.

Removing above check seems correct thing to do, instead should check against
'dev_info.max_mtu' which is already done in ethdev layer, so nothing needed here.

Although 'rxmode.max_rx_pkt_len' is input to driver, it is related with MTU,
which is also input from application in this function, so OK to update
'rxmode.max_rx_pkt_len' here.

This seems to keep the local copy of 'rxmode.max_rx_pkt_len' and use local copy
instead, is this just refactoring or is there any other reason for local copy?
