it is a valid case for priv->plat->maxmtu > ndev->max_mtu if referring
to the statement above it:
/* MTU range: 46 - hw-specific max */
ndev->min_mtu = ETH_ZLEN - ETH_HLEN;
if ((priv->plat->enh_desc) || (priv->synopsys_id >= DWMAC_CORE_4_00))
ndev->max_mtu = JUMBO_LEN;
else
ndev->max_mtu = SKB_MAX_HEAD(NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN);
When the ndev->max_mtu go into the else statement, then the assignment in
stmmac_platform.c & stammac_pci.c plat->maxmtu = JUMBO_LEN is actually
greater than ndev->max_mtu. That is what I understanding that maxmtu > max_mtu
is an option trick to allow driver assign value through the logic above instead
of getting
it from of_property_read_u32(np, "max-frame-size", &plat->maxmtu); or
*_default_data().
I need to revert back the V4 and submit V5.

Ok noted. Will be a separate patch. Thanks.
