Subject: [PATCH net 1/4] net: ethernet: cortina: Fix MTU max setting

The RX max frame size is over 10000 for the Gemini ethernet,
but the TX max frame size is actually just 2047 (0x7ff after
checking the datasheet). Reflect this in what we offer to Linux,
cap the MTU at the TX max frame minus ethernet headers.

Use the BIT() macro for related bit flags so these TX settings
are consistent.

So this should not actually happen. If it does, some protocol above is
ignoring the MTU. And if that happens, you are going to spam the log
at line rate.

Packets which are truncated are also pretty useless. They are likely
to be dropped by the receiver when the CRC fails. So i would suggest
drop them here, and increment a counter.

Apart from the MTU_SIZE_BIT_MASK, this looks mostly unrelated.
