I don't think this patch is correct.

One of the things that mv88e6xxx_setup_port() does when initialising
each port is:

        if (chip->info->ops->port_set_jumbo_size) {
                err = chip->info->ops->port_set_jumbo_size(chip, port, 10218);
                if (err)
                        return err;
        }

There is one implementation of this, which is mv88e6165_port_set_jumbo_size()
and that has the effect of setting port register 8 to the largest
size. So any chip that supports the port_set_jumbo_size() method will
be programmed on initialisation to support this larger size.

However, you seem to be listing e.g. the 88e6190 (if I'm interpreting
the horrid mv88e6xxx_table changes correctly) as having a maximum
frame size of 1522, but it implements this method, supports 10240, and
thus is programmed to support frames of that size rather than 1522.
